We recommend always using the latest version of Strapi to start your new projects.

Features

• Nested structure support Now you can search by a component or even their children (components, related content types)
• Query by the components: When component is searchable _q parameter will apply also to all component attributes
• Using builtin filters wit components now such suffixes like _contains, _eq etc could be used together with components attributes

Component model configuration

Component by default is not searchable. To enable Component to be included in search or be able to filter by, you've to add option searchable to true in a configuration json file (*.settings.json):

For example for component called paragraph_component You need to change components/text/paragraph_component.json by modifying option object:

{
  "collectionName": "components_text_paragraph_components",
  "info": {
    "name": "paragraph_component",
    "icon": "align-justify"
  },
  "options": {
    +"searchable": true
  },
  "attributes": {
    "body": {
      "type": "text"
    }
  }
}
