Add option to exclude fields from front-end search results.

[jsunsawyer]

We're using the Guest Entries plugin on a site and noticed that the email addresses that we're collecting are searchable on the front-end when using the standard search query.

We don't want people being able to glean info that should be private through searching.

Having a way to mark a field as unsearchable or an option to exclude that field in the search would be ideal here.

Could do with this for pretty much the exact same reason. We've got an "Editors notes" field that could contain potentially sensitive information that shouldn't be search-able.

We’ve added this for Craft 3.1 :)

@brandonkelly I'm having trouble finding a reference to this in the docs or 3.1 changelog. How does one go about implementing this?

Edit: I got over-eager. We're just past 3.0.10 haha. I thought we were an version 3.1 already! I'll keep waiting!

@brandonkelly can this feature be used with normal entries as well?

background: we have an entries field to select related content but I do not want the main entry to be found when the keyword appears in the selected related entries... thanks

if yes, please update the docs here: https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/searching.html#supported-syntaxes

@hiasl No but you could exclude the entry you don’t want using the id entry query param.

{% set entries = craft.entries()
    .search('your search query')
    .id(['not', mainEntry.id])
    .all() %}
