Craft 4
Hi @emilyfitton @petehjfd we had kind of figured that with the new element index filtering and custom element sources that Craft 4 introduced, that SearchIt might become a little obsolete.
Although if there are features in SearchIt that you think would add value to a C4 install then we could look at porting / building / refining a version for Craft 4?
Be great to get a little more detail.
Thanks Sam, the client is really just using it to search by a category field, so if we can do that natively instead then thats great. Do you have a link to the Craft 4 docs on the new index filtering I could review?
Hey @emilyfitton, to be completely honest, we've not fully migrated over to c4 yet, our project (the day job) still runs off craft 3, so until we migrate that we are not fully up to date with the new awesome stuff in c4 :(
Most cool stuff looks to be on the blog and some detail on the custom sources in the docs, and discord is a great place to get more info.
If after a good play you still think there is a place for SearchIt, just shout and we will see what we can do!
Will try and take a closer look myself too.
Will leave this issue open so if anyone else has any thoughts / requests / ideas we can review.
@emilyfitton There's a video on CraftQuest explaining how element index filtering works in Craft 4 - https://craftquest.io/courses/whats-new-in-craft-cms-4/40428
Wanted to check if there is an update on this? We purchased a license about 2 months ago and want to upgrade to Craft 4 now but the lack of compatibility means we're kind of stuck.
Be great to get details of anything specific that is not achievable with the new filters in C4. Certainly open to porting as suggested above, but craft does stuff so well in the first place, just good to sense check.
We're using SearchIt to do things like show only events in the past, only events in the future, events batched per year. All that is possible and parsable to a json in twig but not possible with C4's custom element sources.
Cool, sounds like some good use cases and that a c4 version would still be pretty useful.
Leave it with us, shouldn't be too much work.
Would folks here be happy to test once we have a version ready?

I'd love to test whenever you have a build.
Hi, this seems to have gone a bit quiet. Is there still a plan to progress with the Craft 4 upgrade?
Thanks
@petehjfd If you use the fork from https://github.com/SLASH2NL/searchit/tree/master with my patch https://github.com/SLASH2NL/searchit/pull/1, it should be work in Craft 4.4. Not a perfect solution, but better than nothing. 😄
And hey, the issue celebrates his first birthday in 3 days.
@samhibberd Could we have an update on this? Happy to try and update this ourselves but since this is a paid plugin that doesn't feel right...
It would be good to know your plans for this just so we know if it's worth jumping on a forked version or not. Thanks.
