Searching embedded entry content with result linking to parent page

How Do I?

Hi Folks,

I am structuring a new EE site where page content is assembled from embedded channel entries.

I’m using Matrix rows and Playa relationships to achieve this. So my client can create a page with X matrix rows and then allocate pre-built content entries to each row using Playa relationships.

But I’m concerned about how search will work because the pages themselves will have no searchable content - they are just shells.

The content entries will be searchable, but I’m not sure how to generate a URL to its parent page in the search results. Especially if that entry exists in multiple pages.

Has anyone dealt with this issue before? It must be a common one.

Any advice would appreciated.

CJ

I’d just jump to a custom Google search. The native Search isn’t going to work in this case.

That is a good option.

Thanks,
