The Catalogue tab's search box used to OR across just sku,
description, and brand. Now it hits:
- sku, description, brand, supplier, category, subcategory
(PB's case-insensitive `~` operator, each indexed)
- search_text (a denormalised text blob)
The denormalised column is the key part: PB can't substring-
match a JSON field, so without this, synonyms from
`specifications.synonyms` ("slugger cutter", "turbo tough",
etc.) would never match in the search box. The n8n workflow's
Code node now flattens every searchable bit — including the
synonyms array — into search_text on every POST. The 46 pre-
existing rows were backfilled once with the same formula.
The `price_list.supplier` field also stored the PB id on the
46 pre-existing rows (n8n was setting the resolved name, but
the original LLM tests that seeded the table didn't). Fixed
that in the same backfill — supplier now reads 'JEISA -
WESTSCOTT GROUP' instead of 'q6hpwbxsicyoiuu', which makes
the supplier filter dropdown work AND makes
'supplier ~ "jeisa"' match.
Migration `2026-06-30-add-price-list-search-text`:
- Adds `search_text` (text) column
- Adds `idx_pl_search_text` non-unique index
- Idempotent — re-runs are safe and self-heal the index
Updates:
- `getPriceLists` helper ORs across all 6 columns + search_text
- `PriceList` TS type gains `search_text: string`
- `pricelist-extraction.md` Code node snippet shows how the
n8n workflow should populate `search_text` on every POST
- Search input placeholder reads 'Search anything — SKU,
description, brand, supplier, synonyms…'
Tests: 229/230 (same pre-existing failure, unrelated).
TypeScript clean.
Operators can now type per-upload instructions for the AI extraction
step in the Pricelist upload form. The notes go into a new
`raw_price_list.notes` field that the n8n workflow reads and
injects into the LLM user message as per-upload context.
Common uses:
- "Brand is JEI" → AI stamps every item with brand="JEI"
- "Apply 30% markup" → Code node regexes this out for selling_price
- "All prices in ZAR excl. VAT" → AI uses ZAR
- "Page 4 has discount codes" → AI skips those rows
Also auto-populates `raw_price_list.file_name` (the original
browser-side filename) on upload — PB slugifies the upload to a
token stored inside supplier_file, so without this field the
operator saw the slugged version. Existing rows backfilled by the
admin script.
The `log_summary` field is now reserved for the AI's write-back
summary (set by the n8n workflow after extraction). It was
previously operator-editable on the form, which was wrong —
overwriting it clobbered the AI's output.
New migration: scripts/migrations/2026-06-30-add-pricelist-notes.ts
(idempotent, only adds `notes` if missing — `file_name` was
added manually via the PB admin UI before this commit).
doc/pricelist-extraction.md updated with the n8n LLM user message
shape, the markup regex, and the notes field's role in the pipeline.
