Does Keystone have a built in 'Search' functionality?

[Daniel Price]

I'm developing the blog section of a site, and want to implement a search to search within that blog. Does Keystone come with something like that out of the box?

It does have a search functionality in the Admin UI part, so maybe you could take a look at that to reverse engineer it.

When defining a list you can even add a 'searchFields' option that defines which fields the Admin UI should search through.

If you want to make something custom, it shouldn't be too hard using something like keystone.list('Post').model.find({ whatever: req.body.search_input }).

Hi Daniel,

Keystone is built on Mongoose so you can use any queries they supply, for instance you could search you posts:

var postsQuery = keystone.list('Post').model.find();

  

if (req.query.searchterm) {

  var regex = new RegExp(req.query.searchterm, 'i');

  postsQuery.where( 'name', regex )

}
