Low Search and Solspace Tag field

ilab 30 Mar 2016 12:05 problem, rejected

Hi!

I'm using Low Search (v5.0.2) on EE 3.2.1 on a channel with Solcpace Tag fields. The tag fields are marked to be included in the search. When displaying results, the content of the tag felds is ignored.
E.g. I have a an entry tagged with "doors" and "cars". Another entry has the title "The doors are on fire". I would expect my results tag to return both entries when searching for "doors" as keyword - but only one entry is returned.
I've looked up the channel_data table - the tag content is stored as normal field content for tag fields. But the tag content doesn't seem to be present in the search index.
Am I missing something?

    Does the Tag field have a weight of 1 or up in the Collection settings? And if so, can you see the tag data in the exp_low_search_indexes table for such an entry?

    Thank you for the quick reply!

    you are absolutely right, I've added the tag fieldtype after I've setup the collections and so, the weight was 0 - by setting the value to 1 and rebuilding the collection the search works as expected.
    Maybe it would be a good idea to set the collection weight automatically to 1 after adding fields to a field group assigned to a channel where a collection is already set up - especially when the "Include in search" option is set to yes.

    But nevertheless thanks again!
