Restrict Indexing to a Subset of Your Data?

[dennisoderwald]

I think Scout needs a function to select which entries are indexed. The implementation of Algolia's Laravel Plugin has an indexOnly() function.

You can set the hidden property on the model for all fields that should not be indexed. At least this works for me in combination with the elasticsearch driver. All hidden fields will not be converted to JSON or arrays and thus not be pushed to the index. The visibleproperty should work as well, but I haven't tested it yet.

You can use the toSearchableArray method.
