Is it possible to add streamfields to the search index?

[Christoph Lipp]

Hi there

Just read about the search feature in wagtail and the possibility to add custom fields to the index. Can I do the same for a streamfield? It just popped up as a question I didn't have the time to actually try it out :)

Cheers,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
Yes - you can add the StreamField field to the list of fields to be indexed, and it should (hopefully) just work. There's logic in place within StreamField to extract the meaningful text content from the field, which by default is all CharBlocks, TextBlocks and RichTextBlocks.

(If you define your own block types, you can customise this behaviour by defining a 'get_searchable_content' method on your block class - see the implementation for the default blocks, at https://github.com/torchbox/wagtail/blob/master/wagtail/wagtailcore/blocks/field_block.py)

Cheers,
- Matt

Dear اسامة الزعيم,

That’s because of a refactor where wagtailcore is now just called core

https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/blob/master/wagtail/core/blocks/field_block.py

We will probably see a number of similar cases in support responses — so be on the look when transferring advice from Wagtail 1.x to 2.x that these refactors happened.

Best,
Ben
