Forum OpenACS Development: Response to How to make an object type searchable?

Neophytos,

The documentation you provided was very helpful.  I hooked a test package into the search engine and it works beautifully.

Is there any way to manually add and remove objects from the indexed search or prevent the indexer from indexing certain objects?  I have several tables which allow content owners to make objects invisible to users.  For instance, the users can toggle whether or not they will release an object for general viewing by setting a column in the table (release_p).  If release_p = f, then I don't want it to be indexed.

What would the best way be to restrict the search engine from finding unreleased objects?

Thanks!
