Custom Search Services

2

I was wondering how to add a new Search Service (ie. the search field at the top of Rock).

At the moment there's:

  • Person Name
  • Person Phone
  • Person Email
  • Person Address
  • Group Name
  • Business Name

I have a custom person attribute, Member ID, that I also need to search by. eg. I type 64 and it shows me the person associated with Member ID 64.

Is this something that is easy to implement? I couldn't find any info in the docs on how to do this, unfortunately.

Thanks!

    This is a pretty advanced topic and the only documentation I'm aware of for this is here  https://github.com/SparkDevNetwork/Rock/wiki/Creating-a-Search-Provider-Component 

    Beyond that I suggest you joint the Rock Slack at www.rockrms.com/slack and ask in the #develop channel.

    It's a shame that the github page has minimal information. If even a sample bit of code existed, I might have stood a chance at creating my own! :)

    I'll ask on the #develop channel. Thanks, Jim!
