[platform-help-dev] Re: What info will be returned on search hit lists?

["Brian Gillan" <bgillan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Would a possible solution to the issue of whether to extract the content of
<title> (for html), or something else for other content types (XML, PDF,
etc.) to be presented in the search results be to add an additional piece
of information to the navigation structure, for example <topic label="..."
searchlabel="...">. When search results are returned, the content of
searchlabel would be provided, and if not set, label would be used. Then it
could be up to the build process which creates the navigation structure to
extract and set the searchlable. The only down-side to this that I could
see is it duplicates the information, but that would be the case for an
implementation where the search indexer extracts this information as well,
right?
