Ability to include categories and comments in Low Search collections

JoshuaBaker 2 Feb 2012 17:21 idea, rejected

Hey Low

I’d like to request that Low Search collections be extended to include categories and comments.

I know that it’s probably debatable whether or not comments are content; The option would be helpful.

Categories would definitely be helpful.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

    Hi Joshua,

    This will mostly depend on the presence of certain extension hooks. Both comments and categories can be edited separately from entries, which makes keeping the collection indexes up to date much trickier, especially without hooks for comment or category edit actions.

    I'd have to explore how this can be done properly, as I wouldn't want a half-baked solution for this.

    I think this would be a great inclusion. I understand it would probably be a fairly involved update. But for a site that I am working on now all of the filtering is based on category selections so in order to get the speed benefits of the collections those categories would have to be rolled into collections somehow. This would be a great addition.

    Please consider this a +1 for Low Searching through comments. I know it may be a bit unusual, but my new project is going to depend heavily on comment searches.

    +1 to include Categories. It would make it more solid tool I'd say.

    Cheers!

    I too would like the option to search comments, especially if they could be weighted.
