Hello,

is there anyway to integrate search functionality directly into a page?

im using the content v0.5 module and i would like to add a search button into the page itself which will only search within the content module.

Or maybe someone can reccommend a search module. ive tried both digger and phpdig but there not quite user friendly enough (xoops is our intranet and our users are very impatient and demanding :( )

thanks for any advice.

Jason

The only way I can think of is to create your own search engine. With a little php+xoops code it shouldn't be too hard. You are basically searching for a particular string in the title or/and body. So use a XOOPS db query to search in those 2 fields that compare them to your search string, if they match, output the link (for example).

thanks for your reply, but what you've just advised is WAAAY out of mu league.

I think we'll have to try something else.

thanks again.

Yes, you can use this smarty plugin for xoops, to include the XOOPS search box in module

Happy_Linux has just released the happy search module. I can be found at the module dev site..

I know this is not the answer to your question, only making you aware of the options.
