Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_live_search
OK… I see what you mean… Have you checked the ‘searchto’ parameter for the plugin?
Here’s what the help says:
searchto
By default the search form action will be your site home URL. If you want to post your form to a subdirectory, indicate so here. In the example below, the search would be posted to http://yoursite.com/search/?q=search+terms
Default: “”
Example: searchto=”search”
That looks like it might be in the ballpark
Hmmm, on looking closer, maybe not… :-(

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_live_search
yeah – thanks for the help – you really pointed me in the right direction. just in case anyone else ever has the same issue the solution was:
– hacking the searchto attribute to searchto=“index.php?s=search&” did not help as it didn’t recognise the ampersand and apended a ? – creating an alternate search-results page didn’t help – i finally solved it by adding search results to my default page a la:<code>
<txp:if_search>
<h3>Search results</h3>
<txp:article limit=25 pgonly=1 />
<txp:search_result_count />
<txp:article limit=25 />
<txp:else />
… everything else here
</txp:if_search>
</code>
there doesn’t seem to be a performance issue.
thanks again for your help – oh how I love this forum ;)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_live_search
OK, that makes sense!
I still sometimes need time to get my head around the way some of the TXP code works… ;-)
But you are right: these forums rock!
Cheers

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_live_search
Hi guys, I’ve used this plugin before and not had any problems with styling it, but for some reason now i’m using it again on another site, I can’t get the outer grey box to disappear; I cannot remember for the life of me what I did before that got rid of the default grey borders around the search field (if you’re thinking ‘What grey box?!’ then you can see it if you go to Jon’s site; www.hicksdesign.co.uk and turn off styling!)
Thanks!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_live_search
What can I do to speed up my Live Search?
I guess many of my visitors don´t get the whole “live thing” as it is real slow. Is there something in the DB I can do, like index the files?
Edit: My host made some “major changes” serverwise and now it´s really speedy
The database connection is now real fast and my problem was non related to this plugin…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_live_search
Has anyone come across a way of hacking this plugin to display a little spinning activity disk next to the input field. I feel it needs to give the user a bit of feedback about what’s going on.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_live_search
i would like to use this plugin however my search box is currently in the footer of my page, so it is akward when the live search results appear below that. is it possible to make the search results appear above the search field? has anyone done this?
