Drupal 7 Remove field suffix from search index On my Drupal 7 installation I have many different custom fields with different suffixes. Drupal inserts the suffixes into the search_index table which I need to avoid. I could change the output, so that the suffixes are hardcoded on the template side and only shown if the specific fields are printed, but I don't like this solution.

Is there any other way to tell Drupal which fields to add to search_index and which fields to skip? Any hook I could use?

I'm not sure if I really want to use the Search API Module...
You can exclude fields from being added to the search index under the settings for you content type.



Go to the settings for you content type and Manage display. Click on the view mode Search index and drag the fields you don't want to index to Hidden.
