From what I understand from running a small set of tests in my local installation, you need to make a distinction between template-based and by-default search functions. The templates are geared for narrowing searches based on the ID param. If however you leave out the template input textarea blank Oliver's code takes care of site-wide searches.

Cheers, jsw

search issue

When searching for 2 or more words, it does not matter where they are located (in key words or any text content), but when I use "word1 word2" search has no results, but when I use "word1* word2" it will list the correct articles with "word1" and "word2"!

Any explanation why? :roll:

Hard to explain to any user why to put an '*' after each search word...

Ron

Not bringin back any results !

I tried to put a search form on the left site of my site. I pasted in the left blok in the template.

Code: Select all

<form action="###search_input_action:7###" method="post"> 
<input type="text" name="###search_input_field###" size="10" maxlength="250" value="###search_input_value###" style="font: normal 11px/11px sans-serif; border: solid 1px #9B0468; background: #314E94; padding: 2px; color: #FFFFFF;"> 
<input type="submit" value="Go" style="font-size:10px;"> 
</form> 
When i look at the source code i see this:

Code: Select all

<form action="" method="post"> 
<input type="text" name="search_input_field" size="10" maxlength="250" value="" style="font: normal 11px/11px sans-serif; border: solid 1px #9B0468; background: #314E94; padding: 2px; color: #FFFFFF;"> 
<input type="submit" value="Go" style="font-size:10px;"> 
</form> 
It seems that the form action is missing.... what did i do wrong....

PS: the search page is on ID 7....
