Just another search bar issue

[Fabien_Gao]

Hello,

I can’t figure how to search for a data without making it visible for the user.
Here in my exemple have some TCM herbs, name contains Pinyin with tones and Chinese characters ; but I want to be able to search without diacritics. So I created a column without it using “Remove text acccents”, and even a text-column with pinyin without tones. I added the two properties in a rich-text container in the detailed part, and hidded it with <div style="display:none> ; but the reasearch doesn’t show the items.
I tried to remove the <div…> and leave it visible in detailled part : doesn’t work either.
The only way I was able to use the search like I want was to add the properties to the collection’s item data, in the Meta for exemple ; but I really want it to be invisible.
Can someone help me to find a solution ?
Thanks !

I’ll ask the team to see if there are any updates or an exhausted list of things that the search bar can search.

If you don’t try to hide the content on the details screen, does the search consider it?

[Fabien_Gao]

It doesn’t work neither !

[ThinhDinh]

If you add it to the details screen with a text component, is it searchable?

I guess the last available method is add it as a meta, then use CSS to hide it from view.

I have a solution that work for me : in the details screen I added a “field” with the content I want to be able to search, and hidded id. NB : It doesn’t work with text ou richtext.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you, it’d be much better if we have an exhaustive list of all things the search bar can search. Noted if someone asks this again.
