Finders enables content editors to create searchable and filterable lists of items, like directories or news feeds, without requiring site configuration changes. It uses SearchAPI and Views to build these lists, which can also include faceted filters for easier navigation. This general-purpose pattern can be adapted for various content types, simplifying how users find information on a site.
Finders allows content editors to create searchable and filterable lists of items, without needing to change site configuration.
Features
With Finders, content editors can create entities which act as 'channels', which list other entities which are 'entries'. A channel entity's list is built with SearchAPI and Views, and can additionally have faceted filters.
The Finders pattern was originally designed for LocalGov Drupal Directories as a simple way for site builders to create ways for users to find content entries. This is now being generalized so information architecture modules, such as directories, events, news, consultations, anything that has entries in a 'channel', can be configured by the site builder to create an easy system for users to search and filter through content.
This module comes with a basic Finder type. Other modules provide more feature-rich and specific Finder types.
