How To Display Custom Attributes In Search Results
Permalink 1 user found helpful
My custom attributes can be displayed in the page-list but not in the search results list.
I have many pages with common "page_thumbnails" and also many pages with a custom attribute "coverlink" (which is a complete link to a extern pic).
That works fine in page-list view.php but I am not able to get the coverlink-attribute value into my search results view.php to display the external pic instead of a "page_thumbnail" in the result list.
Is there a way to use custom attributes in search results?

Hi
I think this is what I am looking for.. I want to search for an attribute called part_number I set up in ecommerce and it is searchable in product list but I need it being found in a normal search block.. how and where did you add the suggested code?

Dear Jolly,
I am very sorry, that I answer that late.
I must confess, that I am not very skillful in php (try and error freak), so I think it is the best, I post the complete code of my result page, where I inserted the code sniplets.
It is a template for a search block, which only displays results.
Hope it will help.
Best

Please try another keyword or phrase.')?> <?php }else{ ?> <div id="searchResults">

It looks like the results you are looping through in foreach($results as $r) are not actually page objects but are IndexedSearchResults objects. You can get the page id for an IndexedSearchResult by calling getID() and then use this to pull the actual page object.
I hope that helps!
