Make Runway Resources searchable in Statamic about runway

[duncanmcclean]

Quick update as I know this issue has been open for quite a while - I'm still planning to add this feature at some point.

However, at present, there's no way to add 'custom searchables' to Statamic which would be needed so we can 'push' your Eloquent models into Statamic for it to index.

I had a look at implementing this in the core the other day but I got a bit stuck 🙈 If I have enough time at some point, I'll possibly take another look.

Hopefully it's not a massive issue for you (or anyone else) for that matter. Search is available on the resource listing pages if you need it, just not globally with Statamic's search system.

Thanks for the update, this is really a "nice to have" for me at this point.

Would deff be great but also managing without ^^

I don't think we can actually do this right now, so I've opened a Statamic feature request: statamic/ideas#519

If it helps at all I'd happily work with you on the core changes needed for this.

Seems like Statamic\Search\Searchables needs a method for registering custom searchables, and Statamic\Search\IndexManager::index() needs a way of overriding the default driver.

Then that would allow runway to register a searchable and a driver (with corresponding query builder that extends from Statamic\Query\EloquentQueryBuilder)

I'd love if you'd help to work on it. I've tried a few times but I'm honestly a bit stuck of where to start and how to integrate it in with what's already there.

On my Statamic FR, Jason left a comment about how he'd probably expect the API for it to work.

Once it's working on the Statamic side, I'd happily build the Runway side of the integration.
