Usage
=====
.. _usage_manual_indexing:
Manual indexing
---------------
You can trigger indexing from CLI::
./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase index:index 'pages'
./bin/typo3cms index:index 'pages'
This will index the table ``pages`` using the :ref:`TcaIndexer`.
Only one index per call is available, to run multiple indexers, just make multiple calls.
The indexers have to be defined in TypoScript via :ref:`configuration_options_index`.
.. _usage_manual_deletion:
Manual deletion
---------------
You can trigger deletion for a single index from CLI::
./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase index:delete 'pages'
./bin/typo3cms index:delete 'pages'
This will delete the index for the table ``pages``.
Only one delete per call is available, to run multiple deletions, just make multiple calls.
.. _usage_auto_indexing:
Auto indexing
-------------
Indexing is done through hooks every time an record is changed.
The tables have to be configured via :ref:`configuration_options_index`.
.. note::
Not all hook operations are supported yet, see :issue:`27`.
.. _usage_form_finisher:
Form finisher
-------------
A form finisher is provided to integrate indexing into form extension.
Add form finisher to your available finishers and configure it like:
.. code-block:: yaml
-
identifier: SearchCoreIndexer
options:
action: 'delete'
indexIdentifier: 'fe_users'
recordUid: '{FeUser.user.uid}'
All three options are necessary, where:
``action``
Is one of ``delete``, ``update`` or ``add``.
``indexIdentifier``
Is a configured index identifier.
``recordUid``
Has to be the uid of the record to index.
.. _usage_searching:
Searching / Frontend Plugin
---------------------------
To provide a search interface you can insert the frontend Plugin as normal content element of type
plugin. The plugin is named *Search Core*.
Please provide your own template, the extension will not deliver a useful template for now.
The Extbase mapping is used, this way you can create a form:
.. code-block:: html
<f:form name="searchRequest" object="{searchRequest}">
<f:form.textfield property="query" />
<f:form.submit value="search" />
</f:form>
.. _usage_searching_filter:
Filter
""""""
Thanks to Extbase mapping, filter are added to the form:
.. code-block:: html
<f:form.textfield property="filter.exampleName" value="the value to match" />
.. _usage_searching_facets:
Facets
""""""
To add a facet as criteria for searching, use :ref:`usage_searching_filter`.
To display facet results use:
.. code-block:: html
<f:for each="{searchResult.facets}" as="facet">
<f:for each="{facet.options}" as="option">
<label for="{option.name}-desktop">
<f:form.checkbox value="{option.name}" property="filter.{facet.field}" />
{f:translate(id: 'search.filter.channel.{option.name}', default: option.name, extensionName: 'SitePackage')}
({option.count})
</label>
</f:for>
</f:for>
