Use the custom metadata field search support
With the search seedlist 1.0 support, custom metadata fields specified on content items are added to the search seedlist as metadata information, without requiring the metadata to appear in the HTML source for the content items.

- Click New, and enter the property...
wcm.config.seedlist.metakeys
...and set the string value to a comma-delimited list of the own metadata (for example, <metakey1, metakey2>).
Add the names of the text element from the content that should be included in the search results to the wcm.config.seedlist.metakeys property. To add more than one text element, separate them with commas. The name of the text element on the content item that should be included in the search seedlist must match the name configured for this configuration key.
For example, set wcm.config.seedlist.metakeys=language,region in the WP ConfigService resource environment provider, and add a Web Content Manager text component as an element with the name language to a content item or authoring template. In the content item we can enter the value german into the text component for the language. After saving the content item, the search crawler will add the value german into a metadata field called language within the search seedlist. Then we can filter the search results based on the metadata information.
