Guillaume Bourreau	Monday 09 February 2009 7:30:43 am Hi all, I am a new developer on Exponential, so sorry if I my words are not clear or obvious... I am using ezfind for my site and its pretty good for now. However I have some issues and questions about it. 1) What's about subtree search, including locations ? Now only main node search work. If a content has many location, only a search on its main subtree get this content. 2) I have the following problem with subtree search functionnality. On one hand, I have a content in the Content subtree, in a "News" subtree for example. This content has a "ezcontentobjectrelation(s)" field, or a "online editor" field in which we can have a embed objet (similar to a "ezcontentobjectrelation" feature). On the other hand, in the Media subtree, in Files folder, I have a File. So my content is "linked" to the File using the "ezcontentobjectrelation(s)" field. So, if I search on the whole subtree, I can get results from Content subtree and Media subtree, so I can get my Content and my File, if both match my search text. But now, If I select the "News" subtree, l logically only get the Content, not the File attached. Even if it's logical, this a big problem for me, because the "News" subtree can be considered by a internet user as a set of contents and files. So If a user want to search in "News" subtree, he want to get Contents and Files used in thoses Contents (using the "ezcontentobjectrelation(s)" field for example). Do you have a solution to my problem ? Maybe it's a design problem... It will be simpler to use an "ezbinaryfile" field instead an "ezcontentobjectrelation(s)" field, but I can't. Thank you very much if you can help me to keep moving on this issue. Feel free to ask me should need more precisions. Guillaume

I think it is really relevant, and not only for eZ Find, but also for the default eZ Search engine. I too have problems with making embedded files searchable, but in the default eZ Search engine. When embedding a pdf-file from the media library into an article, I want that pdf-file to be searchable, even though the media library itself is not searchable. Does anyone have an idea on how to achieve this? Best regards! /Nicklas Nicklas Lundgren, Managing Director Novitell AB, Sweden

Hi all,

I am a new developer on Exponential, so sorry if I my words are not clear or obvious...

I am using ezfind for my site and its pretty good for now.
However I have some issues and questions about it.

1) What's about subtree search, including locations ? Now only main node search work. If a content has many location, only a search on its main subtree get this content.

2) I have the following problem with subtree search functionnality.

On one hand, I have a content in the Content subtree, in a "News" subtree for example.
This content has a "ezcontentobjectrelation(s)" field, or a "online editor" field in which we can have a embed objet (similar to a "ezcontentobjectrelation" feature).

On the other hand, in the Media subtree, in Files folder, I have a File.

So my content is "linked" to the File using the "ezcontentobjectrelation(s)" field.

So, if I search on the whole subtree, I can get results from Content subtree and Media subtree, so I can get my Content and my File, if both match my search text.

But now, If I select the "News" subtree, l logically only get the Content, not the File attached.

Even if it's logical, this a big problem for me, because the "News" subtree can be considered by a internet user as a set of contents and files.

So If a user want to search in "News" subtree, he want to get Contents and Files used in thoses Contents (using the "ezcontentobjectrelation(s)" field for example).

Do you have a solution to my problem ?
Maybe it's a design problem... It will be simpler to use an "ezbinaryfile" field instead an "ezcontentobjectrelation(s)" field, but I can't.

Thank you very much if you can help me to keep moving on this issue.
