Is there a way to stop Examiner searching specific fields we where testing a search we created on one of our client sites and we set it to use “ ExternalIndex “ but form some reason it pulling back author and editor names as part of the search and not just searching page content.
public List genericSearch(string searchQuery)
{
//InternalIndex
//ExternalIndex
List results = _publishedContentQuery.Search(searchQuery,“*”, “ExternalIndex”).ToList();
return results;
}
Can any one suggest any changes to the code so that it just dose content not author, editor ect.
A PublishedContentQuery searches on all fields in the index. Umbraco by default adds certain data that is not part of the implementor defined content into the index for common usecases
I would advice you to either use a custom index with just the fields you define
Or use a custom query on the external index for just the fields you want
