how to use searchkick to index according to some conditions

问题

I am using searchkick and rails4.

I have an activerecord People, with attributes a,b,c. How can I do indexing only when b equals "type1", not indexing otherwise?

Currently what I know is

def search_data
  {
    a:a,
    b:b,
    c:c,
  }
end

Per the docs:

By default, all records are indexed. To control which records are indexed, use the should_index? method together with the search_import scope.

This should work for your case:

class People < ApplicationRecord
  searchkick # you probably already have this
  scope :search_import, -> { where(b: "type1") }

  def should_index?
    self.search_import # only index records per your `search_import` scope above
  end

  def search_data # looks like you already have this, too
    {
      a:a,
      b:b,
      c:c,
    }
  end
end

A bit late but a teammate came up through this question earlier today and I think the topic deserves a more detailed answer.

As far as I can tell, you have two options to control which records are indexed by searchkick:

At the class level, you can limit the records searchkick index by defining an ActiveRecord scope search_import. This scope is used, essentially, when indexing multiple records at once, like when running searchkick:reindex task.
At the instance level, you can define a should_index? method which gets called on every record just before indexing, it determines whether a record should be added or removed from the index.

So, if you want to index only records that have b equals 'type1' you could do something like below:

class People < ApplicationRecord
  scope :search_import, -> { where(b: 'type1') }

  def should_index?
    b == 'type1'
  end
end

Note that returning false from should_import? will remove the record form the index as you can read here.
