Searching for users in Squiz Matrix

(Fook Seung Lee) #1

Matrix Version: 5.5.2.2 (cloud)

Is it possible to search for users in Matrix? We aren’t using LDAP, so these are native Matrix users. For some reason it appears that neither the username nor the user’s names are indexed, so searching using the native Matrix search works. Currently I have to scroll through the list of users 50 at a time which is quickly becoming not feasible as the number of users grows…

User assets are searchable by default, an example from the index from my test server gives:

squiz_matrix=# select component from sq_sch_idx where assetid = '584' and component like 'attr%';
    component
-----------------
 attr:first_name
 attr:last_name
 attr:username
 attr:login_ip
 attr:login_ip
 attr:login_date
 attr:email
(7 rows)

I’ve got a working Search Page asset set up like so:

Assuming Search Manager has indexing on, and you’re not being tripped up by the Minimum Word Length or Noise Word List, it’s possible (although seems unlikely) that indexing has been disabled for those attributes (or the whole asset type) using Global Weights or Asset Tree Weights.
