Customizing Unified Search in 5.5

[xadora]

Hello Sugar Community,

according to
http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showt...hlight=unified
and
http://www.sugarcrm.com/wiki/index.p..._be_searchable

I successfully enhanced the unified search on a few SugarCRM 5.2 CE machines.

That worked great, however not 100% upgrade safe.

Now, since version 5.5 this doesnt work any more:

Edit modules/Home/UnifiedSearchAdvanced.php and replace the line below:

$supported_types = array('varchar', 'char', 'int'); // support data types
with:
$supported_types = array('varchar', 'char', 'int', 'text'); // support data types

$supported_types is simply not set anymore in modules/Home/UnifiedSearchAdvanced.php.

My questions now are: Where can i add other data types then varchar, char and int to the unified search. Is this still possible in Version 5.5 or greater?

Many thanks,
Ole

Hi Ole,

I have recently upgraded from 5.2 to 5.5.1RC.

I can't even seem to rebuild unified_search_modules.php in 5.5 . ( I did rebuild it once after rebuilding relationships but I can't repeat this and it was rubbish anyway not including anything from custom.php in Extensions )

I have found a 'solution' for my upgraded system which is to copy the unified_search_modules.php over from my 5.2 system to my 5.5.1RC system and change permissions so it is not easily deleted.

This 5.2 copy of unified_search_modules.php does still seem to let me search on text fields ( I had previously done the changes you refer to in 5.2 )

However this seems a big loss, that adding fields to custom.php in the extension directory does not work after 5.5. ( You can add them to unified_search_modules.php )

I am very nervous as to what is going to be removed next.

Ole, if you can restore to the previous unified_search_modules.php, let me know if this works for you .
