Matrix Support

Great plugin!

Any plans to support excerpts for matrix blocks? At the moment you successfully search them however the excerpts just come up blank.

Thanks

Thanks!

No concrete plans, but I'm aware of it and it definitely would be a nice thing to have. It just seemed a bit tricky to do given how the Craft database is organized. Ideas and contributions are welcome :)

(The search queries the craft_searchindex table, which stores an element ID and a field ID. But the field ID just points to the matrix field, so it's not so easy to know in which block or sub-field to look for the original, non-"normalized" text, unless it's possible to just loop through them all somehow without making the search even slower than it already is…)
