Add taxonomy data in SearchableText index ?

[bsuttor]

Hello,

Here is my use case,
I added taxonomy on a dexterity portal_type "organization" to add type of organization (butcher, plumber, ...) and I would like to have a list of all butcher when I make a "butcher" search into Plone seach input.

I see in taxonomy than "id" of data is already registered into a catalog index (which is added when a taxonomy is created), but I'm not able to find 1gfkx7fgti easily with Plone search bar.

So maybe it would be great to add data (eg butcher) into SearchableText index to be able to find it when a user use Plone search bar ?

Do you think it's a good idea ? Do you know other/better way to do that ?

I'm against indexing it by default, it can add a lot of noise in SearchableText. And you should index all the translations of the terms used for your content? What about when you modify a translation of the term? You need to reindex all your contents in this case.

Why don't you use a specific filter or a facetednav in your project?

Thank you for your reply,

I really would use Plone search bar (or in a facetednav search bar) to find all content related to a taxonomy. It seems (to me) very logical to be able to find content related to a taxonomy in Plone search bar.
It could be an option of control panel to index taxonomy "data", and yes, if a translation change, all contents tagged with old translation should be re-tagged.

It could also override plone.app.search browser view, but I think search would be to slow if it search also in taxonomy (transform taxonomy id to translated term) during a Plone search.

I could also replace Plone search view by a factednav search view.

It seems pretty easy to make it optional, i.e. register a searchable text indexer thingy and then just plug in terms based on whether this option is enabled – per taxonomy.
