Support/Comments for SimpleSearch 1.2.0-rc2

hi there! I'm really in need with a search engine that will look for the data within the custom package
Is this add on will help me??

Hi @johnrobert27,

I have no idea why you sent this PM to me. Maybe by mistake?

Regards

@herooutoftime no Im gathering some information on how to do a search engine in modx

Might be of some help...though I've never used it but looks as it implements custom package searching as well.

Recently installed SimpleSearch and am amazed at how quick it was to implement. Thank you Shaun!

Noticed on the site I'm currently developing, that sometimes the result extracts don't include the search term. For example, this search for 'Bookmark' on Mark Hamstra's site:

https://www.markhamstra.com/search/?query=bookmark

whereas following the link returned confirms that 'bookmark' appears about two-thirds down the page.

Am I missing something?

I'm looking to include in SimpleSearch searches (and score heavily) the tags used in Articles. The only apparent answer as set out at http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/simplesearch/simplesearch.simplesearch is to use the &customPackages property. Has anyone already implemented this? Or is there another way to achieve the same result?

I am new in modX and also SimpleSearch but I was thinking if using the 'postHooks' may help.

Found something which may help: https://forums.modx.com/thread/86485/simplesearch-faceted-search-through-posthooks-documentation-incorrect

Ref my earlier post (https://forums.modx.com/thread/39261/support-comments-for-simplesearch-1-2-0-rc2?page=3#dis-post-476855) has anyone found a way to reliably include the search term in the SimpleSearch result extracts?

Here's an example of it working well:

https://www.markhamstra.com/search/?query=embedding

and an example of it not:

https://www.markhamstra.com/search/?query=bookmark

(Note that 'bookmark' doesn't appear in the result extract but it is contained in the searched page https://www.markhamstra.com/extjs/2012/modext-versus-extjs-and-working-with-their-docs/ )

Any help greatly appreciated.
