Custom Field Search

[Max]

Please make custom fields searchable or data available to main resource manager search, at least as an option
There is no way to search data which added using custom fields.

 

[Eric Winter]

I second that.

 

[cdub]

Yes +1000000

That would be very helpful.

This would be beneficial, even for the custom fields in the forum.

But how this should be done?
You have watched the structure of custom_fields?
You can add them to the search index, yes, there is an add-on now.

To search like > 20 years and < 40 years, you need the addons from Addonslab, but they are monsters.

Probably you require a new way of structure for custom fields to use them.

I see
a) you add a copy of the content in a searchable table
b) you put the searchable fields to the main tables
c) you add a new type of custom-fields to search in, while the old type is only to show information.

Looking for this exact functionality. Upvoted, be a nice to have

Been also suggested for other add-ons.. it should simply be a core ability.. guess they are waiting on a 3rd party to provide those functions for them.

Enable search based upon custom field(s)

For those of us actually using custom fields in the gallery, the ability to do an advanced search based upon them would be VERY helpful.
