Sanitize the field to remove html tags before saving for search.

[PixeledCode]

Description
Currently for people using CKEditor, using Meilisearch creates a lot of html tags in Meilisearch result as well. That's not really ideal and creates a lot of issues when using other Meilisearch features like crop etc.

Basic example
In my current project, I'm using CkEditor as rich text content editor but it outputs html tags which although is great for my usecase, creates a lot of problems for Meilisearch.

Other
One solution I could think of is basically sanitize the content that Meilisearch scarps before saving. Or maybe saving multiple fields.

Im not sure it is a good idea to sanitize by default the content that is provided as user may want to keep there HTML in the fields they index.

But we might add a feature that creates a setting giving the possibility of sanitizing a field. Maybe during the same process as what is suggested by #248 .

Yeah having the ability to opt in or out for sanitization would be better

Hi All, PR #265 addresses this issue

[bidoubiwa]

Thanks to @harish2704 it will become possible to chose your fields by adding a transformer to your collection so that you can change the data before sending it to MeiliSearch.

See #287

example in the restaurant collection.

  // api/restaurant/models/restaurant.js

module.exports = {
  meilisearch: {
    transformEntry(entry) {
      const transformedEntry = entry
      // remove created by and updated by fields
      delete transformedEntry.created_by
      delete transformedEntry.updated_by
      return transformedEntry
    },
  },
}

It will be available next release!
