search¶

search¶

Path: $GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['columns'][$field]['config']
Type: array
Scope: Search
Types: input

Defines additional search-related options for a given field.

pidonly¶

Type: boolean

Searches in the column only if search happens on the single page, does not search the field if searching in the whole table.

case¶

Type: boolean

Makes the search case-sensitive. This requires a proper database collation for the field, see your database documentation.

andWhere¶

Type: string

Additional SQL WHERE statement without 'AND'. With this it is possible to place an additional condition on the field when it is searched

Example from "tt_content" bodytext:

'bodytext' => [
   'config' => [
      'search' => [
         'andWhere' => '{#CType}=\'text\' OR {#CType}=\'textpic\'',
      ],
      ...
   ],
   ...
],

This means that the "bodytext" field of the "tt_content" table will be searched in only for elements of type Text and Text & Images. This helps making any search more relevant.

The above example uses the special field quoting syntax {#...} around identifiers to be as DBAL-compatible as possible.
