Field Indexer

David Lesieur - May 19, 2008 - 01:40

The Field Indexer module indexes field data into Drupal's search index. Each field enabled for indexing becomes a type of index entry. Then, with an appropriate search module, users may perform keyword searches restricted by field.

Support for performing keyword searches restricted by field has been added to Faceted Search.

One could imagine similar support being added to Views Fast Search or Views, for example, although it has not been discussed yet.

The package

Field Indexer is in fact a bundle of modules:

  • Field Indexer: Provides a configuration page where the site administrator may select which fields to index. This module also provides a basic API for field indexing modules.
  • Node Field Indexer: Implements indexing for core node data (only the node title is supported at the moment).
  • CCK Field Indexer: Implements indexing for CCK fields.
  • Biblio Field Indexer: Implements indexing for Biblio fields.

Field Indexer allows other types of fields to be indexed by separate modules.
