[Developers] Search of non-topics

[Arthur van Hoff]

Hi,

 

I was searching for a radio station called "radioio70sPop". When I type
that name in the search box on the website I get two hits; one for the
radio station, and one for "ZING on radioio70sPop", which is an
editorial_comment.

 

Why is it finding the second hit? That object is a compound value, and
although it has a name property, it does not include the type
/common/topic.  I was under the impression that search only returned
topics. 

 

How do we prevent editorial comments from being included in search
results?

 

Thanks.
