Global Search appears as if it is not working with TextArea fields

[jjolliffe]

Mysql 5.0.26
Sugarcrm : Version 5.2.0a (Build 5447)
Custom module : A Basic Module

I have added custom.php in custom/Extension/modules/Info_Information/Ext/Vardefs and rebuilt vardefs cache having removed cache/modules/unified_search_modules.php
<?php
$dictionary['Info_Information']['unified_search'] = true; // opts module in
$dictionary['Info_Information']['fields']['name']['unified_search'] = true;
$dictionary['Info_Information']['fields']['description']['unified_search'] = tr
ue;
?>

This works in part
a) adding the custom module to the search modules
b) Allows search on the name ( and other non-textarea fields )
HOWEVER it does not pick up records where the string is in the description field. I have added % either side of string and looked at the unified_search code and cannot see why it wouldn't work . Help

SHOULD IT WORK ? I can search easily in the database using phpadmin or mysql ( Not much good for end users )so why can't I find the record using sugar global Search ?

Thanks in Advance

Hello,

take a look at this wiki article. You will need to also modify the modules/Home/UnifiedSearchAdvanced.php file and delete cache/modules/unified_search_modules.php.

Works a treat.

Thanks for that the first part of the article was enough .

I thought the problem may well lie in the UnifiedSearch .

I see text type is still missing in 5.5.

( In 5.2 description not in vardefs.php as per above article but I put it into custom.php and rebuilt vardefs having deleted the cached unified Search. )

Is there any way to take a non-tabbed module (like Tasks) and make them searchable? I've implemented the changed in the wiki above and in another wiki page, but that's not enough to enable it in global search.

What's missing to enable global search to search through non-tab modules?
