Organize video contents

[Don]

Hello,

I am looking for a solution to make video content in post more searchable. In the advanced search there is no option to filter with:videos, only with:images.

Is that possible to search somehow the video contents posts or organize? The problem is videos have no title or description so the search cannot find it? Maybe use a video tag can help a bit but that is just a filter to topics not posts.

Thanks for the answers and suggestions!

does this help ?

my title is error with a tag of unsupported-install

you can really organise anything with tags.

Yeah that is fine. I use tags but the problem is that is only for topics filter. So if there is a topic with video tag and more then 500 replies it take too long to search the relevant post with the video. That is why I am thinking about how to make search videos easier and faster to users.

Patching Discourse's search

You can extend search from your plugin, for example you could add an advanced filter like this: require_dependency 'search' if Search.respond_to? :advanced_filter Search.advanced_filter(/with:video/) do |posts| posts.where("posts.cooked LIKE '%<video %'") end end The above will only display posts containing videos when the search box includes the with:video keyword. See also the badge advanced filter for an example of a search query that takes user data into account.
