php - Silverstripe fulltextsearch on custom field -

i'm using silverstripe fulltextsearch. interrogation how search in custom field , show results. there code write in index.md :

file: mysite/code/myindex.php:

<?php class myindex extends solrindex {     function init() {         $this->addclass('mypage');         $this->addfulltextfield('description');     } } 

in page.php

class page_controller extends contentcontroller {     private static $allowed_actions = array('search');     public function search($request) {         $query = new searchquery();         $query->search($request->getvar('q'));         return $this->renderwith('array(             'searchresult' => singleton('myindex')->search($query)         ));     } } 

when i'm trying search words description field, no results found... suggestions?

in experience fulltextsearch has been frustrating , problematic. willing corrected, feel devs moving away in place of using searchfilters (https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3.1/developer_guides/model/searchfilters/).

if helpful @ wrote module allows custom searching , displaying results in custom controller. isn't efficient fulltextsearch works pretty (https://github.com/i-lateral/silverstripe-searchable).

i did try write module using fulltextsearch, couldn't working.
