add author to the results

English:Fess

hi maravol,
we are trying to add author to the search results, but no luck so far.

added these to fess_config.properties:

query.additional.search.fields=author
query.additional.response.fields=author
and
crawler.metadata.name.mapping=
title=title:string\n
Title=title:string\n
meta:last-author=author:string\n
Author=author:string

also added these to the doc.json:
“author”: {
“type”: “text”,
},

then we crawl again,but author response is blank. what are we missing?

  • Delete indexed documents before crawling
  • Check if a file contains it as meta information
  • : in meta:lasta-author might need to be escaped

deleted the indexed docs, re-crawled. not working.
checked the search result urls, they have meta tag as author
commented out the meta:last-author in fess_config.properties

still not working,

also tried to add author as an index field, and response field, not working.
made type text/keyword in doc.json and still i have no author data written to the elasticsearch.
what am i missing?

Please check fess-crawler.log with debug level logging.

solved it.
had to add this to the web crawler config:

field.xpath.og_title=//META[@property=‘og:title’]/@content

thanks for your help :slight_smile:
