Related data not shown in CP search results

[skauk]

Describe the bug When you have a custom column defined for a collection which references related collection entry it won't display in search results.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Let's say we have two collections: Books and Authors. Each Book entry has a collection field that references a single Author entry. In folder.yaml for Books you have something like:

columns:
  - title
  - author.title

This will display the title of the author related to the Book entry. Once you start searching this Book collection this column will disappear.

Expected behavior Display related data in search results.

Environment details (please complete the following information): Latest Statamic (2.11.16)

I've came up with a fix for this. It'd be great if that was added. Here's the patch:

@jasonvarga Any comment on this? I have additionally implemented search by related fields. Can imagine that could be useful for many.

@rcknr thanks for the fix! how come no one from the official side is taking care of this?

I think officially everyone has moved on to v3. From what I've seen so far, however, v3 has some of these type of shortcomings as well.

I see...we just bought some licences for v2 and seeing that it is not really supported anymore is a bummer

The upgrade to v3 is 100% free if you just bought v2. Also, v2 is still supported, but at this point really only security/critical fixes.

ah all right, thank you
