Re: Jahia search relevance and field indexing

Hi,

Currently Jahia indexes on a per field basis. The 
page used for the template declaration is the 
page returned in the search result. Then you can 
perfectly reuse in a template some existing 
content objects (cf absolute addressing in Jahia) 
or make any other kind of operations on your 
content objects (e.g. remove all the last 5 
letters for all big texts and small texts). As we 
store in the search engine the fields stored in 
the Jahia DB and we do not use Lucene as a web 
crawler, content directly stored within the JSP 
(hardcoded), content reused from another page or 
content manipulated in the JSP is not returned. 
Same is true for example with the page footer 
which is only returned for the home page. But 
would it be pertinent to return all the pages of 
the site if you search a wrod which is located in 
the page footer? But the pinciple is the same as 
the page you are mentionning. So it should 
certainly be something we need to (will) improve 
in the future but that is not something easy to handle.

Cheers,
Stéphane
