Is it possible to limit search fields for a collection using forest-express-sequelize?

Help me!

Feature(s) impacted

Search bar

Observed behavior

When a term is typed into the search bar, it searches every field in every record.

Expected behavior

Limit the search to commonly searched fields, omitting extraneous fields.

Context

We found this documentation for doing it using the Agent but we are still using forest-express-sequelize (no desire or bandwidth to upgrade). Is it possible with forest-express-sequelize?

Hi

Would this suit your need?

const { collection } = require('forest-express-sequelize');
​
collection('companies', {
  searchFields: ['name', 'industry'],
});
