Modify backoffice text search to add attributes coming from another type

[former_member735969]

I am trying to customize backoffice text search to use solr for Orders. Order has a code attribute and Order has entries, those entries have a vendorName. I need to be able to type in a name and then the solr index would form a query to search in code an orderEntryVendorName (this is how I called it when creating the impex script to set up the solr index). However, the query only takes into account code even though I am doing something like this.

<context component="myextension-order-fulltext-search" type="Order" principal="customersupportmanagerrole">
	<fs:fulltext-search>
		<fs:field-list>
			<fs:field name="code" selected="true"/>				
			<fs:field name="orderEntryVendorName"/>
		</fs:field-list>
		<fs:preferred-search-strategy>solr</fs:preferred-search-strategy>
		<fs:operator>OR</fs:operator>
	</fs:fulltext-search>
</context>

NOTE: The solr index part is already taken care of, my index of orders contains orderEntryVendorName it is just a matter of configuring myextension-backoffice-config.xml correctly to take into account orderEntryVendorName when searching in the solr index

As shown in your configuration, you add the orderEntryVendorName in the field-list, this is used for the filters, you can choose this filed in the filters and then this field will take effect in solr search.

But from your description, i suppose you want to this field take effect in simple search, so, there are two ways you can try:

1. Configure the simple-search field in your config.xml for Order type, something like below:

<context merge-by="type" type="Order" component="simple-search" >
   <ss:simple-search xmlns:ss="http://www.hybris.com/cockpitng/config/simplesearch">
      <ss:field name="code"/>
      <ss:field name="orderEntryVendorName"/>
   </ss:simple-search>
</context>

2. Enable the Free Text Query for orderEntryVendorName in backoffice administration cockpit

Find the index property orderEntryVendorName in Admin cockpit->Search and Navigation -> Indexed Types, open detail view of orderEntryVendorName, and navigate to FREE TEXT QUERY tab, choose True for Free Text Query.
