hexo-search-generator

This is an updated version of the hexo-generator-search package

The output file (search.xml) of the original package was missing to some informations about the posts, so I have made this updated version to add the informations that I need in my projects

Install

$ npm install hexo-search-generator --save

Options

You can configure this plugin in your root _config.yml.

search:
  path: search.xml
  field: post
  content: true
  template: ./search.xml

• path - file path. By default is search.xml . If the file extension is .json, the output format will be JSON. Otherwise XML format file will be exported.
• field - the search scope you want to search, you can chose:
  • post (Default) - will only covers all the posts of your blog.
  • page - will only covers all the pages of your blog.
  • all - will covers all the posts and pages of your blog.
• content - whether contains the whole content of each article. If false, the generated results only cover title and other meta info without mainbody. By default is true.
• template (Optional) - path to a custom XML template

Exclude indexing

To exclude a certain post or page from being indexed, you can simply insert indexing: false setting at the top of its front-matter, e.g.:

title: "Code Highlight"
date: "2014-03-15 20:17:16"
tags: highlight
categories: Demo
description: "A collection of Hello World applications from helloworld.org."
toc: true
indexing: false
---

Then the generated result will not contain this post or page.

Output

The output will be like
