Search categories from related entries to the entries i need returned as results.
I have one channel of entries i want to search and return results from. This channel has relationship fields which are what we are using to search on mostly. The entries in one of those relationships has a category group assigned to it that i wonder if it is possible to search on also.
So, i'd like to search on a related fields categories essentially but only show results from the channel entries that have that relationship field, not the entries from the relationship.
I hope that makes sense, it makes my head hurt just to look at it.

If I understand you correctly, this is not possible with Low Search at the moment. It's a level too deep, just like you can't search a specific field of a child entry to return the parent entry.

Ah right, ok, i thought as much but had to ask as Low Search seems to be capable of pretty much anything else.
Thanks for the help.

maybe you could find a workaround using this method: http://gotolow.com/blog/searching-non...

Hmm, i don't think this will work for me, as the data once this is complete will be populated into the system from a csv using datagrab via a cron job.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
