How to include annotations of files (images) in search

Kirby 3 Questions šŸ¤”
1

Created search for entire site and found that annotations of files are not included in search.
Currently my search looks like this:

$searchResults = $site->index()->listed()->search('some search input');

p.s. here in forum are some topics about this issue, but without clear solution

Is this a duplicate of this question: Search file field meta data - #7 by Bristolscript

Yes, was not sure if that topic is still active (and originally it was regarding Kirby 2).
Thank You for pointing it out. But still a bit confused - how to add $files->search() to $site->search().
Should I make some iteration through each results page?

$files->search() only searches files, and $site->search() searches in files. But you could combine the results into a single collection.

Or check out the plugin I mentioned in the other thread.

Thank You for driving to necessary direction! Now Iā€™m able to include in search results also pages which matched file annotations (captions):

$searchResults = $site->index()->listed();
$inputParam = 'some search string';
$annotationResultsData = new Pages();

foreach ($searchResults as $currentPage) {
  $filesWithSearchData = $currentPage->files()->filter(function($file) use($inputParam, $currentPage) {
  $fileContent = $file->content()->toArray();
  $custom_caption = isset($fileContent['custom_caption']) ? $fileContent['custom_caption'] : '';
  $pos = !empty($custom_caption) ? strpos($custom_caption, $inputParam) : FALSE;

  if ($pos !== FALSE) {
    return $file;
  }

  return null;
});

  $filesLength = count($filesWithSearchData->toArray());
  if ($filesLength > 0) {
    $annotationResultsData->add($currentPage);
  }
}

$siteSearchData = $searchResults->search($inputParam);
$searchResults = $siteSearchData->merge($annotationResultsData);

p.s. feel free to comment my ugly code as my primary language is not PHP
