Search Selector (pageTable.repeater.field)

[Orkun]

How can I query pages from a pagetable which has a repeater, and this repeater has a title or body field. It's like a sub - sub - selector. At the moment I am trying this:

$selector = "title|body|headline|link|linktext|introheadline|body2|content.body|content.body2|homeSections.title|homeSections.headline|homeSections.body|newsSections.news.title|newsSections.news.body|slider.body|team.body~=$q, limit=50, template!=news";

But "newsSections.news.title|newsSections.news.body" doesn't work (expected that). I need it because of my News Overview Page which has a newsSections PageTable Field for creating News Year Pages.

The PageTable has a repeater where I can create the specific News for the corresponding News Year Page. I want to query the Title and Body field of the News Items.

Selectors cannot handle multiple level nesting by using the dot-syntax, but you can use subselectors: https://processwire.com/api/selectors/#sub-selectors

Thank you, this worked for me:

$q = $sanitizer->selectorValue($q); 

$selector = "(title|body|headline|link|linktext|introheadline|body2|content.body|content.body2|homeSections.title|homeSections.headline|homeSections.body|slider.body|team.body~=$q), (newsSections=[news.title|news.body~=$q]), limit=50, template!=news";

$matches = $pages->find($selector);

I see you're using a limit, therefore I assume you're using pagination, where this one won't work. Use OR-groups to put both searches into a single selector, if you need pagination to work. If you need more control over the sorting of results take a look at this topic:
