Mapping Drupal Fields to SearchStax Site Search


Once your Drupal data is connected to the SearchStax Site Search solution, you will need to map fields from Drupal to Site Search to see search results. This is accomplished in the Results and Display section where you can assign Drupal Fields to Mapped Fields.

To simplify things, we created a Results Card with pre-built Mapped Fields. Out of the box, SearchStax Site Search supports five mapped fields: Ribbon, Title, Paths, Date, Description, and URL. You can add Fields without a mapping as well and they will be appended to the end of the Results Card.

Below is a table of common Drupal Fields that map nicely to SearchStax Site Search and are usually found in all Drupal instances.

Site Search Mapping Drupal Field(s) Description
Title tm_X3b_en_title Bolded, large text that says about the document is about.
Ribbon Ss_type, ss_content_type Identifies what type of document it is (PDF, blog, web page?)
Paths site, m_X3b_en_url, ss_url Shows the URL path
Date ds_field_news_publish_date, ds_last_changed Date document was created
Description tm_X3b_en_body, tm_X3b_en_field_description Brief description
URL site, m_X3b_en_url, ss_url Hidden field that shows where to go on a click
