+FEATURE 134 "Enable indexing of tt_content records of CType Header"
+===================================================================
+
+Before, only ``bodytext`` was used to generate content while indexing pages.
+
+As there are content elements like ``header`` where this field is empty, but content is still
+available, it's now possible to configure the fields.
+This makes it also possible to configure further custom content elements with new columns.
+
+A new TypoScript option is now available, and ``header`` is added by default, see
+:ref:`contentFields`.
+
+See :issue:`134`.
