displaying search results in a different section
I have a made a static page (in its own section) for doing searches. however the results show up using the homepage. i’m wondering how i can make the search results show up using the same page that you initiate the search from instead of the homepage.

Re: displaying search results in a different section
I think the trick here is to add your section to the “form” tag:-
<code><form action=”<txp:site_url />sectionName/” method=“get”></code>

Use <txp:search_input section="search" />. The manual was incorrect about this, I fixed it up.

I see. Didn’t it say that using the ‘section=’ attribute would make it search ONLY in that section?
well, i got it to work by visiting the link that jdykast gave and using some of the code there. but thanks to all of you for your replies.
To anyone else that reads this thread, try zem’s code, coz it looks a crapload easier.
Thanks folks :)

Not sure why, but this does not seem to work as shown. My txp tag is:
<blockquote><code><txp:search_input label=“Search Lula” section=“search” button=“Search” size=“15” />
</code></blockquote>
and when the xhtml is generated it looks like this:
<blockquote><code><form action=“http://powerbook-2.local/index.php?s=search” method=“get”><p>Search Lula<br /><input type=“text” name=“q” value=“something” size=“15” /><input type=“submit” value=“Search” /></p></form></code></blockquote>
but when the button is clicked, the url is
<blockquote>http://powerbook-2.local/index.php?q=search+string</blockquote>
and the default page is returned. What happened to the ‘s=search+string’ in the url? Without it, I can see why it doesn’t get the section’s page, but where did it go? I’m using messy urls as a neccessity on this dev server, if that matters…

Hi all
isnt the following link the answer to the question of the thread title?
Using Search in Textpattern RC3
OK, it has been written for RC3 but I think it is still the method in 4.0.3.

Re: displaying search results in a different section
Can’t make this work txp:search_input section=“search” /> for me either. I get default page also.
