Is the address field searchable?

[geenious]

I'm making a simple query:

{% set query = craft.app.request.getParam('q') %}
{% set results = craft.entries({
  search: query,
  limit: 10,
  orderBy: 'score',
}) %}

But the entry isn't showing when I search by the value in Address Field 1.

The "Use this field’s values as search keywords" is checked and I've re-saved all entries.

Hi @geenious,

I don't believe the Address field gets indexed in the search index. The data exists outside of the content table, and would probably require some special magic to get properly indexed.

In the meantime, there are other (more preferred) ways of accessing the Address data. The most common way to is to perform a normal proximity search. Or if you're just looking for a direct string match, check out filtering entries by subfield value.

I'm not sure if it's even possible to get the Address fields included in the search index, but I can run it past P&T to get their thoughts. It's pretty low on my radar though, and unlikely to happen in the near future... I can leave this thread open as a feature request until I do eventually get around to it.

Hope that helps! 🙂
