[SOLVED] Excluding some features from search index

[nestor44]

Hi, my search index included features. I do not need to index all features. I want to index only 3 features and their values. Is it possible to exclude certain features from search index? I am using PS 8.1.5 for one shop and PS 9 for the second shop. I want to exclude some features from both shops.

Can you precise your need?

PrestaShop doesn't index feature names, only their values so you'll need to modify the function that retrieves just the values of the features you want. You can do it by adding an override to the Search class (sadly there are no hooks you can use). Below is an example of code you would place in override/classes/Search.php (you need to clear the cache when you add or remove files from the override directory):

 

<?php
class Search extends SearchCore {
    /**
     * @param Db $db
     * @param int $id_product
     * @param int $id_lang
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public static function getFeatures($db, $id_product, $id_lang)
    {
        if (!Feature::isFeatureActive()) {
            return '';
        }

        $features = '';
        $featuresArray = $db->executeS('
		SELECT fvl.value FROM ' . _DB_PREFIX_ . 'feature_product fp
		LEFT JOIN ' . _DB_PREFIX_ . 'feature_value_lang fvl ON (fp.id_feature_value = fvl.id_feature_value AND fvl.id_lang = ' . (int) $id_lang . ')
		WHERE fp.id_product = ' . (int) $id_product . '
        AND fp.id_feature IN (1,2,3)', true, false);
        foreach ($featuresArray as $feature) {
            $features .= $feature['value'] . ' ';
        }

        return $features;
    }
}

The above will only add the values of features with id_feature = 1, 2 or 3 (obviously you need to replace 1, 2 and 3 with the IDs of the three features you want included in search). The above override should work for any PrestaShop version from 1.6 -> 9.0 (this function hasn't changed in all that time).

@Paul C, thank you so much. That's exactly what I needed
