JSON Wildcard Notation

[jholmes001]

Hi!

Here's an example of a JSON document that's inserted into a store called 'search_index'.

"title" : "Group 1",
"soc" : [{
   "1234" : {
      "job_title" : "Computer Programmer",
      "job description" : "Computer science description"
   },
   "4567" : {
      "job_title" : "Computer Analyst",
      "job description" : "Computer analyst description"
   }
}]

I'm trying to setup a search fetch using the code below:

$search_fields = array( "title", "soc.*.job_title", "soc.*.job description" );
$relevance_params = array( "relevance" => "DESC" );
$sleekdb_data = $store->search( $search_fields, $input["slug"], $relevance_params );

I want "job_title" and "job description" fields (which are sub-fields of "SOC") to be used as fields to search for, using JSON notation as described in the documentation. However, the sub-fields are always different numbers so I'd like to use something like a wildcard notation. I'm not getting any results so it's obviously not working. Is there a way to include the two sub-fields, along with the "title" field?

Hi @jholmes001
Currently there is no* wildcard notation feature available.
We are looking forward to implement such a feature with the next major release.
For now you should think of another data structure to search through 😊

I am really seeing forward to the next release since I need this feature as well :)
