Here is the problem that I am having:

I want to setup a search engine that searches only one field of the database from my homepage (ie. have a small text box on my front page ready to search one field of my DB without having the user login). I know how to reference the search page to bypass the login but I am having problems referencing just one portion of the search page. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.... Thanks ALOT

I'm not sure what you mean by "I am having problems referencing just one portion of the search page." I'll need a little more explanation.

Here is what I mean:

have a text box with a search button below it.... like this

|----------| - Text Box
SEARCH - Search button


I want to have a search setup but not as detailed as the whole advanced search. Just one box used for searching. THe program is searching only one field of the users entry and I dont need the whole search page.

Hi,

Here is the HTML FORM to do a search in only one field.


The name is the field you want to do the search in.

Hope this helps.

Thanks alot... I got everything working perfect now except one small thing.

When I click on the SEARCH button the search works fine but when I hit return after entering a word I get an UNKNOWN ACTION error. Can anyone help me on this?? Thanks

Hi,

Add this to the form

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="view_records" VALUE="1">

It should work now.

Thanks again. Everything is working fine right now. I have my search working great.

How about if I want to do a all field
search, and my database is not "default"?

oh I got it now, cheers.
