[com_fields] Missing "Searchable" column in #__fields database table

[machadoug]

Adding a "searchable" field in com_fields will allow us to better integrate with the search plugins and with other extensions. In my case I only want some fields to be "searchable" therefore adding a "Searchable" column in #__fields database table allow us to change the search plugin and add ->where('f.searchable = 1') in /plugins/search/content/content.php after line 189.

Is this something that can be done?

Is not a bad idea.

Not sure how this can replace a filter/ordering option in menu item...
