Exclusion from search schema attribute

[roikle]

Request: Would it be possible to have a schema attribute which prevents documents (or even specific schema fields) from being indexed for the search results?

Justification: Some content may not need to be indexed. For example, comment schemas may be considered secondary to the main atlas content, and may need to be excluded from the search results. By limiting what content is indexed, searching may produce more helpful results by reducing clutter.

Currently, in Nunaliit built on CouchDB, the text search index is built using a CouchDB view. When the view is invoked, only the current document is accessible. This means that an associated schema can not be fetched to impact the decision on what can be indexed.

However, if a document contained information about what should be included/excluded, then the text search index logic could be modified.

An another approach would be to take the text search indexing out of CouchDB and have a Nunaliit service perform it.
