Hello, Thank you, I'm definitely missing this part so far. As for the advanced search pattern, I'm only worried that my code for glueing the query from all sorts of fields will be very complex. That's why I'm trying to think of something easier to maintain. So far I was thinking of a solution going along these lines: - data from the search form would be used to create a pattern object - the query would be constructed by iterating through all the field_infos of the index - for each field_info add to the query a pair attribute : value of that attribute from the pattern object I'm considering whether it's a good course to take, seems tempting because of its dryness -- no need to alter the search method after extending the index. And it would make the search method a few lines only, simple loop and not a terrifying sequence of ifs and concats :) I'm trying to spot the weaknesses of this idea before I start coding. I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this idea!
