Research direction

Start by locating the collections view and the search-box implementation in the TypeScript application. Trace how the displayed slug and searchable fields are selected, then determine how a configurable override field should apply to both. Done means a collection can show a chosen field instead of its slug and that field is included in search behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The collections view displays post slugs, with no way to disable that.

I don't need to see the slugs for some collections; my blog posts have titles, so I'd like to just show that. I can show both title & slug, but that takes up a lot of space and makes it hard to fit other fields on screen too.

Please add an option to specify a field that will override the display text in the collections view.

I think this will also affect the search box, which seems to only search slugs, and not any other fields.
