I would like to limit some search results to specific categories. I
have several indexing configurations set up. They're working properly.
Pages are being indexed regularly by the crawler. Doing a regular
search displays results that were indexed by all index configurations.

What I want to do is add another indexing configuration, and have the
ability to include or exclude its records from search results.

The indexed search document (doc_indexed_search) gives these examples to
enable grouping:

plugin.tx_indexedsearch.search.defaultFreeIndexUid List = 0,6,7,8
plugin.tx_indexedsearch.blind.freeIndexUid = 0

(I think that the "0" means "everything")

And for limiting to specific categories, the document suggests this:

index.php?id=78&tx_indexedsearch[sword]=level&tx_indexedsearch[_freeIndexUid]=7,8

the important part being:
&tx_indexedsearch[_freeIndexUid]=7,8

My Indexing Config IDs are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.

I have added this typoscript to test search page:

plugin.tx_indexedsearch.search.defaultFreeIndexUid List = 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0
plugin.tx_indexedsearch.blind.freeIndexUid = 0

I view that search page from the frontend by this URL:
index.php?id=1234&tx_indexedsearch[sword]=contact&tx_indexedsearch[_freeIndexUid]=8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

The search results displayed are only eight headers (one for each
indexing config requested by the URL) with "No results found." under
each header.

I get the same result when I try fewer numbers too.
&tx_indexedsearch[_freeIndexUid]=4,3,2,1
&tx_indexedsearch[_freeIndexUid]=8,7,6,5

But of course, what I'm expecting are results that are limited the
indexing configurations specified in the URL.

When I remove the numbers from the end, or the _freeIndexUid variable
completely, I get a lot of results from all over the site.
index.php?id=1234&tx_indexedsearch[sword]=contact&tx_indexedsearch[_freeIndexUid]=
index.php?id=1234&tx_indexedsearch[sword]=contact

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I might be missing?

Thanks in advance,
David Lanier

I have discovered a piece of the issue.

No data is being entered in the database field index_phash.freeIndexUid.

There are plenty of records in that table. Everything that is in that
table was entered as a result of an indexing configuration, used by the
crawler extension. The value of freeIndexUid for every record is 0. I
manually changed one record to a 1 (using phpMyAdmin) and that record
now appears in the expected category of the search results.

So, on to my next specific question: How can I get this field to be set
properly automatically?

The only three relevant things I see in tsref are:
index_enable
index_externals (whether to index linked media - pdfs, etc.)
index_descrLgd (length of description text to store)

But that doesn't affect this issue.

any suggestions would be appreciated!

It turns out this is a known bug.
