Provider specific fields

Smartsite 7.9 - ...

Purpose

A provider may add extra fields. For example fields added by the Smartsite provider include field extra_sms_contenttype_code.

Index recreate

Enterprise Search automatically includes the provider specific extra fields when building the mapping for the silo index. It uses the mapping when creating the index. A manual recreate of the index can be necessary:

  • It is not necessary to recreate the index when enabling and disabling sources. ES collects extra fields regardless whether the source is enabled.
  • It is necessary to recreate the index if a new source is added and that source uses a provider not used before and that provider introduces new extra fields.

Provider specific extra fields

The table below specifies an indicator 1 if the field can have at most one value, for example a title. Or an indicator n if the field can have multiple values, for example as is the case for keywords.

Provider Field name Type 1_n Description
Smartsite provider extra_sms_contenttype_code String (normalized) 1 Code of the content type of the content item that resulted in the ES document.
Smartsite provider extra_sms_channel_code String (normalized) 1 Code of the channel used to render the content item.
