Description

For now the search scope in search controller can't be extended by plugins.

See ln51 in search_controller.rb

@object_types = %w(issues news documents changesets wiki_pages messages projects)

So if there is a plugin_hook which let plugin add object_types to above, the plugin can easily integrated their search function into redmine's search page.

#4 Updated by Gonzalo Fernández-Victorio about 11 years ago

As of version 1.0.0.stable I have managed to incorporate search to a plugin with the following changes:

  1. Provide search scope in the controller. For example for EzPlugin I had to write
    class EzfaqController < ApplicationController
[...]
  default_search_scope :faqs
[...]
  2. Provide ability to search in the model (In EzPlugin it's already in the plugin)
    class Faq < ActiveRecord::Base
[...]
  acts_as_searchable :columns => ["#{table_name}.question", "#{table_name}.answer"],
                        :include => [:project]
[...]
  3. Register the plugin in Redmine search (libs/redmine.rb)
    Redmine::Search.map do |search|
[...]
  search.register :faqs
[...]
