Search custom field
Hello,
I want to search in a custom field, not that difficult, but the resultpage needs to show all results between a min and max value or up to a value.
The HTML I have is a select-tag.
Show all results up to
<select name="max">
<option value="" selected="selected">--</option>
<option value="20">20</option>
<option value="30">30</option>
<option value="40">40</option>
<option value="50">50</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Search"/>
The numbers are hardcoded and not necessarily the value in the customfield.
For example the customfield can have value 41 in it but the resultpage need to show all results up to 40 when the user selected 40.

Re: Search custom field
Would this post by frickinmuck be of any help?
For example the customfield can have value 41 in it but the resultpage need to show all results up to 40 when the user selected 40.
This is unclear as it seems to obviate the relation between the custom_field value and the user selection. Or do you want to substract 1 from the cf_values? Or adjust all values downward?
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: Search custom field
All values downwards, 41 was just an example. It needs to show all results that have a value in the custom field of less than or equal to the search term.

Not sure of it helps, but wet_haystack features search by custom fields.

I know about that plugin. What I want is that a website user is able to search in customfield_1 by selecting a number and that the resultpage show all articles with customfield_1 between 0 and the number selected.

I guess it’s too late now, but etc_search should be able to do it:
<txp:etc_search query="{custom_1::/^\d+$/::{*}<=$0}" />

Looks great, unfortunately queries are not my strong suit.
