Search defaultFields error

[nimble schooner]

I'm trying to add a search bar and I have this so far

searchPlugin({
collections: ['products'],
searchOverrides: {
fields: ({ defaultFields }) => {
return [
...defaultFields,
{
name: 'description',
type: 'textarea',
label: 'Description',
},
]
},
},
}),

When I added the

({ defaultFields }) => {

It turns red (underlined) in visual studio code and my website dosn't load anymore. I have no clue how to fix this.

Hello, to fix your website so it work as before or to make searchPlugin works as expected?

[nimble schooner]

I want the searchPlugin to work. When I added:

searchOverrides: {
fields: ({ defaultFields }) => {
return [
...defaultFields,
{
name: 'description',
type: 'textarea',
label: 'Description',
},
]
},

The admin panel turns white.

you might be need the slug:
slug: 'search-results',

  searchPlugin({
    searchOverrides: {
      slug: 'search-results',
      fields: ({ defaultFields }) => [
        ...defaultFields,
        {
          name: 'excerpt',
          type: 'textarea',
          admin: {
            position: 'sidebar',
          },
        },
      ],
    },
  }),

That doesn't work for me. I think it had to do with this part

({ defaultFields }) => {

It's the only thing that is red and when I addes that it doesn't work.

So I have some products on payload and I wt people to be able to search for those products. All the products have a title and a discription. The searchPlugin gets the title from the product but it doesn't get any description cause I haven't added it. So when I try to add it it doesn't work.

[jaunty wing]

your description is richText?

[nimble schooner]

I have no idea. I used a template.

[jaunty wing]

hmm, probably yes then. I think best way to solve it is to have additional description for search. You can sync them

[nimble schooner]

How do I do that? I'm really new to this.

[jaunty wing]

do you writing product names / descriptions by your self or syncing with POS?

[nimble schooner]

I don't really understand your question. I just have products collection and there I have tabs for title and descripton which I just filled in.

[jaunty wing]

so you filled manually okay got it.

you can add in your Products collection like searchDescription field and then with hook on change, you can transform the rich text lexical

[jaunty wing]

do you need description to have richText actually?

if you need just text you can go Products and to change the type

I'm just watching this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGyDU8XZRG4&ab_channel=AllAboutPayload

And it says I have to add this so when I click the product in the search result tab (under collections) it shows description so it would help with searching. I'm stuck at the part to add ths description field. I even red the documention and it says I have to add this field using defaultFields but when I try to add that field the page turns white.

So I'm guessing this doesn't have to do anything with my problem?
