[Typo3-dev] indexed_search and grlist - feature request

[Nico de Haen]

Hi,

another request about indexed search. (Unfortunately I didn't join the 
mailinglist last year, when Kasper asked for the 10 most wanted features).

I implemented a website for a company, which sells information. One can 
book various services and each allows access to certain information. 
This is implemented with fe_groups. Since the caching and consequently 
the indexing is depending on the grlist and since there are many 
different combinations of fe_groups it might happen, that a client who 
just booked a "new" combination of fe_groups, will find nothing, since 
pages with his grlist are not indexed yet. That is ok for the access 
restricted content (I solved indexing and displaying of that content 
with an extension) but it is a problem for the public content, since 
even that content is indexed with the grlist.

So, my question is, would it be possible, to include some TSConfig flag 
like "alwaysSearchInPublicPages", to search always in indexed pages with 
the grlist "0,-1" i.e. not logged in users? Then all "public" content 
will always be included in the search, regardless of the current login 
status. The disadvantage might be, that a logged-in user gets a search 
result which shows content, that is usually hidden if a user is logged 
in, but that would be much more acceptabel than the current solution.

kind regards,

Nico
