Search Groups

Last updated on Jul 7, 2024

Search groups are logical groupings of tags and attributes.

Setup

You can manage search groups within the admin interface by navigating to https://your-ourchive-url.com/admin/core/searchgroup/:

Search groups should have letters, numbers, or spaces - not commas or other symbols.

Display order controls how prominent a group will be in views. A lower value means it shows first, so everything with a display order of 1 will show before everything with a display order of 2.

Attributes & Tags

When you've created your groups, assign them to attributes and tags by navigating to the Attribute Type and Tag Type views and assigning your chosen group:

The tag type admin view with search group showing in the background

Search & Browse Views

In search views, you'll see search groups after the automatic 'Chive Info' group, which contains data that's not admin-configured:

An example filter bar with chive info, the automatic group, followed by 'Chive Tags' and 'Characters'

Chive Views

On the chive info panel, search groups show in the following order:

Attributes, sorted by search group display order
Tags, sorted by search group display order

So, if you want a tag or attribute prominently displayed, assign a search group to its type that has a display order of 1 or 2.
