Search Configuration (config-search.csv)

The “_data/config-search.csv” enables GH and CSV users to select which metadata fields they would like indexed for the collection object search powered by Lunr.js. The values here will determine the results that appear when the site’s users search for a term or phrase using the search box on the right-hand side of the header. Three columns in this CSV allow you to configure your search.

The columns are described below, and an example is provided for your convenience:

field:

  • Determines the metadata field to be indexed for search
    • Example: title, date, description, etc.

index:

  • Determines whether the field is searchable.
    • Options: true, false

display:

  • Determines whether the value of that metadata field is displayed in the search results.
    • Options: true, false

Example

field,index,display
title,true,true
date,true,true
creator,true,false
description,true,true
subject,true,true
location,true,false
