Indexing children in search_indexing.conf

jeffschneider

I have a field, ca_objects.provenance_list. When the user performs a search I want to return not just the object with the provenance_list value, but that object's children as well.

I read the manual for search_indexing.conf but cannot get this to work

I tried something like this

ca_objects = {
ca_objects = {
fields = {
object_id = { },
_metadata = { }, # forces indexing of all attributes
ca_attribute_provenance_list = { CHILDREN_INHERIT },
....

I also tried changing it to _ca_attribute_provenance_list and ca_objects.provenance_list, but it's not working.

I know that _metadata indexes everything but I assume that you can add a field and set options

I saved the parent object record to force a reindex

Just in case if anyone comes across this, it turns out that this worked fine - I just had to update the specific field to do a reindex on the record

_ca_attribute_provenance_list = { CHILDREN_INHERIT }
