BeforeSearchInDatabaseRecordProviderEvent¶

New in version 12.1

The TYPO3 backend search (also known as "Live Search") uses the \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Search\LiveSearch\DatabaseRecordProvider to search for records in database tables, having searchFields configured in TCA.

In some individual cases it may not be desirable to search in a specific table. Therefore, the PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Search\Event\BeforeSearchInDatabaseRecordProviderEvent is available, which allows to exclude / ignore such tables by adding them to a deny list. Additionally, the PSR-14 event can be used to restrict the search result on certain page IDs or to modify the search query altogether.

Example¶

Registration of the event listener in the extension's Services.yaml:

EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Services.yaml

services:
  # Place here the default dependency injection configuration

  MyVendor\MyExtension\Backend\EventListener\MyEventListener:
    tags:
      - name: event.listener
        identifier: 'my-extension/before-search-in-database-record-provider-event-listener'

Read how to configure dependency injection in extensions.

The corresponding event listener class:

EXT:my_extension/Classes/Backend/EventListener/MyEventListener.php

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyVendor\MyExtension\Backend\EventListener;

use TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Search\Event\BeforeSearchInDatabaseRecordProviderEvent;

final class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(BeforeSearchInDatabaseRecordProviderEvent $event): void
    {
        $event->ignoreTable('my_custom_table');
    }
}

API¶

class \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Search\Event\ BeforeSearchInDatabaseRecordProviderEvent¶
