Search

I know I should know this one, but all I am trying to do is return results for a search.

PAGE

<txp:search_input label=“Search” section=“search_test” button=“Search” size=“15” wraptag=“p” />

search_test points to this PAGE:

<txp:if_search>
<h3>Search results</h3>
<p>You searched for <strong><txp:search_term /></strong>.</p>
<txp:article_custom form=“searchResults” />
</txp:if_search>

searchResults FORM:

<h3><txp:search_result_title /> <txp:search_result_date /></h3>

Unfortunately, when I run a search, it returns all of the articles. Even when I run a search with gibberish in it, it returns every article. The only time it does not return every article is if I run a blank search.

FYI, It does give me the correct search term in the title.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Re: Search

Use <txp:article/> instead of <txp:article_custom/> :).

Re: Search

Nothing at all? Can you post a tag trace of such a page? (using <txp:article />! article_custom definitely won’t work)

Don’t you need <txp:article searchform="searchResults" />? I’m a little fuzzy on the whole form/searchform/listform thing. Seems like the latter two are superfluous since TXP knows which ‘mode’ it’s in, but I’m sure I’ve tried stuff like this in the past and for some reason I got nothing out when I was using the form attribute, but switching to searchform worked. *shrug*

jm/Bloke/Els:

I definitely do not know what I would do without your support. Its funny what happens when you put searchforms instead of form – it actually works …

Thanks for all the help.
