Smart Search Filter to Display Users

Katrina Miday asked on June 17, 2015 13:58

Hello!

I currently have a smart search filter that filters by classnames, to display only news, blog posts, wiki articles, etc. I've been trying to add an option to display only users, but I've been unable to figure out how to define the filter. I some of the things I already tried include classname;cms.user;Users, classname;cms.usersettings;Users. Is there a way to only include a single search index by filter, as users have their own index? Thanks in advance!

Hi Katrina,

The problem is that Users index does not contain classname field. What you could do is to use _type field instead. So it should look like this: _type;cms.user;Users

I hope it helps.

Hi Katrina,

What type of index are you using? Is it Pages (Stores information about pages in the content tree)? If yes, I am afraid you cannot use this type of index to display the data about users, you would need to use Users index, which stores information about users in the system. In case I missunderstood you requirement, please try to provide more details.

I'm actually using three separate indexes with the smart search results, a pages index, a forum index, and a users index. The search results display users, I'm just trying to add a filter that displays only users. I am currently using the following filter values with the filter clause "Must" for individual document types, but I'm not sure what I would use to only display users.

classname;cms.news;News Items classname;cms.simplearticle;Wiki Articles classname;cms.file;Files classname;CMS.BlogPost;Blog Posts
