Search function

I have a modified module based of mydownloads and recently noticed that when I use the search function that is does find content in the body, or rather, the description however is fails to search within the platform tables.

Is there a way to include this field so that the search function would not pass it over?

Ok, I found the search.inc.php file and added d.platform (the field I want included in the search) and updated the module. However I am still coming up short...

You need to change the following line

d.title LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%' OR t.description LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%'

to

d.platform '%$queryarray[$i]%' OR LIKE d.title LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%' OR t.description LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%'

There are 2 similar lines in the file, so you need to change both.

I did like you said:

But I still don't get anything.

When I changed the d.title to d.platform, of course that field started showing, however with the other now excluded.

I played around with your string:

Quote:
d.platform '%$queryarray[$i]%' OR LIKE d.title LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%' OR t.description LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%'


and came up with the following that seems to work:

Quote:
d.platform LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%' AND d.title LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%' OR t.description LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%'

If you want to display platform names in the search results, then change the following line

SELECT d.lid,d.cid,d.title,d.submitter,d.date,t.description

to

SELECT d.lid,d.cid,d.title,d.submitter,d.date,t.description,d.platform

and

$ret[$i]['title'] = $myrow['title'];

to somethins like below

$ret[$i]['title'] = $myrow['title'].'('.$myrow['platform'].')';

Hope this helps.

Though I had it working, I did try your suggestion - didn't work, but thanks anyway!

I do have one question though about the slight difference between the string I started with (the first of the two lines in that particular file):
Quote:
d.title LIKE '%$queryarray[0]%' OR t.description LIKE '%$queryarray[0]%'


and what I ended up with that appears to work:
Quote:
d.platform LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%' AND d.title LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%' OR t.description LIKE '%$queryarray[$i]%'


The first one had the '%$queryarray[0]%', the second had [0] replaced with [i].
What doesn't make sence to me is that, what would seem logical is what was the value of [0] would remain [0] and not [i]. Anyhow, I wouldn't have stumbled on that had you not given me the first bit of info.

Thanks!

The saga continues.

The AND statement is pulling in all the records though the platform is not there.

I finally figured it out:

Quote:
d.platform LIKE '%$queryarray[0]%' OR d.title LIKE '%$queryarray[0]%' OR t.description LIKE '%$queryarray[0]%'


That should do it.
