Categorised Search Results

Hello All,

I have a large number of article categories and would like to structure the results, category-wise, like:

Your search term “blah” has found 50 articles.

Cateogry 1
Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
Article n

Cateogry 2
Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
Article n

Cateogry 3
Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
Article n

… and so on …

Any pointers?

Something like

<txp:if_search_results>
<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />'>
<a href="<txp:search_result_url>".<txp:search_result_title /></a>
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:if_search_results>

to start you off with.

Re: Categorised Search Results

Also, I think you will have to sort them by category

<txp:if_search_results>
<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />' sort="Category asc">
<a href="<txp:search_result_url>".<txp:search_result_title /></a>
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:if_search_results>

To add the Category headings as separators, take a peek at txp:if_different.

Re: Categorised Search Results

Hmm you two… don’t we need a <txp:article /> tag to display search results, or did I only dream that?

Husain, if I understand you correctly, you want to do something like this?

<txp:if_search>
   <txp:article pgonly="1" sort="Category1 asc, Posted desc" limit="999" />
   Your search term "<txp:page_url type="q" />" has found <txp:search_result_count text="articles" />.
   <txp:article sort="Category1 asc, Posted desc" limit="999">
      <txp:if_different><txp:category1 title="1" /></txp:if_different>
      <txp:search_result_title />
   </txp:article>
</txp:if_search>
