Title not included in indexed metadata fields, but should be

[john-thomas-dotcms]

Describe the bug

The INDEX_METADATA_FIELDS property in the dotmarketing-config.properties file specified which metadata fields we index in files. The current default value for this property does not include title, so the title of uploaded files is not indexed by default.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a file (outside of dotCMS) and set the title field in the file metadata to include some unique value (e.g. abc123xyz).
2. Upload the file into dotCMS as a File Asset.
3. Use the Query Tool to perform a Lucene query which looks for the unique value (e.g. +catchall:*abc123xyz*.
   Result: The file is not returned in the search results.

Expected behavior

By default, the title metadata should be indexed.

So we should add title to the list of fields in the INDEX_METADATA_FIELDS property in the dotmarketing-config.properties file we ship with.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Win 10 Pro
• Chrome
• dotCMS 5.2.7

Workaround

Customers may use the com.dotcms.config plugin to override the value of the INDEX_METADATA_FIELDS property, adding the title field to the list of indexed properties.
