Results not outputting matches from grid relationship

verydisco 20 Jul 2016 09:34 question, complete

Hey,

I am using the Low Search to output the results from a product document channel.
The entries are the specific product names and within them are a grid where the user can add as many documents as they like.

The grid has three columns.
Title (Text Input), PDF (File Upload), Related Tags (Relationship to Tags Channel)

I have another channel called Tags which is just the title but it populated in the Product Document above.

All the grid fields are searchable.

When I search for a term like XML I can get all the grid items where the grid title contains XML just fine. However, it ignores any item that has XML set as the tag but doesn't contain XML in the title.

IE if the entries looks like below it will show

Title | File | Tags

product alpha xml | file.pdf | no tags

Title | File | Tags

product delta xml | file.pdf | xml tag

But if the entry looks like below it will not show

Title | File | Tags

product beta | file.pdf | xml tag

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
C

    This is because the native Relationships field does not return any searchable data for Low Search to index and search. Not much to be done about that, I'm afraid, apart from using an actual tagging add-on.

    Hi Low,

    What tagging add-on would you recommend for this ability?

  3. Low 20 Jul 2016 11:57

    Both DevDemon Tagger or Solspace Tag would do the trick.

    Cheers, gave Tagger a go but no luck. Will try different approach.

    Thanks for the recommendations and quick replies
