Only returns the fields that contains a match

[kiastorm]

I have a situation where I have an array field, Content, that I'm searching for a search term.

example:

[
  {
    Content: [
      "hello there",
      "testing",
      "want to say hello"
    ]  
  },
  {
    Content: [
      "some other string"
    ]
  }
]

If my search term is hello, I want this to return

[
  {
    Content: [
      "<mark>hello</mark> there",
      "want to say <mark>hello</mark>"
    ]  
  },
]

Essentially, I want only the array items that actually match to be returned

Currently, I'm filtering through on the client side, but this invalidates the totalResults and totalPages

// Leave out any pages that do not contain highlighted matches
for (const hit of searchResults.hits) {
  const formattedHit = {
    ...hit,
    _formatted: {
      ...hit._formatted,
      Content: [],
    },
  };

  for (const page of hit._formatted.Content) {
    if (page.includes("<mark>")) {
      formattedHit._formatted.Content.push(page);
    }
  }

  if (formattedHit._formatted.Content.length) {
    formattedHits.push(formattedHit);
  }
}

Is this possible already? Any suggestions?

Hey,

No, this isn’t possible currently. I'm sorry. You can only specify in advance which fields you want and can’t select them dynamically while returning hits.
Your code is pretty good; I don’t think you can improve it much.

I’ll open a product request for you so we can track this feature request on our side; thanks for the feedback!
