## TODO
2012-07-19 03:27:53 +02:00
* Get rid of includeSubclasses - isn't actually used in practice, makes the codebase uglier, and ClassHierarchy can be
used at query time for most of the same use cases
* Fix field referencing in queries. Should be able to do `$query->search('Text', 'Content')`, not
`$query->search('Text', 'SiteTree_Content')` like you have to do now
- Make sure that when field exists in multiple classes, searching against bare fields searches all of them
- Allow searching against specific instances too
* Make fields restrictable by class in an index - 'SiteTree#Content' to limit fields to a particular class,
maybe 'Content->Summary' to allow calling a specific method on the field object to get the text
* Allow following user relationships (Children.Foo for example)
* Be clearer about what happens with relationships to stateful objects (e.g. Parent.Foo where Parent is versioned)
* Improvements to SearchUpdater
- Make it work properly when in-between objects (the A in A.B.Foo) update
- Allow user logic to cause triggering reindex of documents when field is user generated
* Add sphinx connector
* Add generic APIs for spell correction, file text extraction and snippet generation
* Better docs
