We replace the "flush" and "delete" by "delete" and "deletedocuments" logic. This makes it more obvious what will happen, without reading the docs. Also we kept the logic to always provide the index name, as we will need them in the future. Due to elasticsearch v6 changes no types are allowed in the same index in the future. Therefore we need to make it possible to use different indexes in the future, leading to the need to provide the document type all the time.

Usage
Manual indexing
You can trigger indexing from CLI:
./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase index:index --identifiers 'pages'
./bin/typo3cms index:index --identifiers 'pages'
This will index the table pages
using the TcaIndexer
.
Multiple indexer can be called by providing a comma separated list of
identifiers as a single argument. Spaces before and after commas are
ignored. The indexers have to be defined in TypoScript via configuration_options_index
.
Manual deletion
You can trigger deletion for indexes from CLI:
./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase index:delete --identifiers 'pages'
./bin/typo3cms index:delete --identifiers 'pages'
This will delete the index for the table pages
. Deletion
means removing all documents from the index.
Multiple indexes can be called by providing a comma separated list of identifiers as a single argument. Spaces before and after commas are ignored.
Manual delete all documents
You can trigger deletion of all documents for indexes from CLI:
./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh extbase index:deletedocuments --identifiers 'pages'
./bin/typo3cms index:deletedocuments --identifiers 'pages'
This will delete all documents within the index for the table
pages
.
Multiple indexes can be called by providing a comma separated list of identifiers as a single argument. Spaces before and after commas are ignored.
Auto indexing
Indexing is done through hooks every time an record is changed. The
tables have to be configured via configuration_options_index
.
Note
Not all hook operations are supported yet, see 27
.
Form finisher
A form finisher is provided to integrate indexing into form extension.
Add form finisher to your available finishers and configure it like:
-
identifier: SearchCoreIndexer
options:
action: 'delete'
indexIdentifier: 'fe_users'
recordUid: '{FeUser.user.uid}'
All three options are necessary, where:
action
-
Is one of
delete
,update
oradd
. indexIdentifier
-
Is a configured index identifier.
recordUid
-
Has to be the uid of the record to index.
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:
<f:form name="searchRequest" object="{searchRequest}">
<f:form.textfield property="query" />
<f:form.submit value="search" />
</f:form>
Filter
Thanks to Extbase mapping, filter are added to the form:
<f:form.textfield property="filter.exampleName" value="the value to match" />
Facets
To add a facet as criteria for searching, use usage_searching_filter
.
To display facet results use:
<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>
