drupal - Searching custom nodes' by field in Drupal?

Question

Using Drupal on a project which I made custom node types in using the CCK. I want to be able to search the specific node based on a custom field the node has. So let's say I have this node type Article which has a field "myfield", I want to be able to search for Articles based on the myfield field. I understand the default search module allows for searching of node types using the type:MyNodeType in the search, but I did not see any way to limit which fields are searched. Any tips? Is this something that is going to get crazy? Appreciate the help.

Answer 1

The default search cannot filter by specific fields.

You have a couple options.

• Write custom code that filters again the actual fields in the database.
• Use the Views module, which lets you filter against specific fields.
• Install the ApacheSolr search engine, which can filter against specific fields.
  • This is a fairly complex thing to install.
  • If you're comfortable installing it, though, it's a better and more flexible search than the other two options.

Answer 2

查看CCK Facets模块。有关此模块的更多详细信息（来自其项目页面）：

CCK Facets 是一组与Faceted Search集成的模块，可将Content Construction Kit (CCK)字段作为 facets 公开。这允许用户浏览字段值并使用这些值过滤搜索结果。

支持的 CCK 字段类型有：

• 文本
• 数字
• 节点参考
• 用户参考
• 日期
• 日期戳

Answer 3

为此，我将 Search API 和 Search API DB 模块与 Views 一起使用。

这是一篇不错的文章。
