simple question simple solution

Hi,

I was just wondering how to make the search keep these settings without users having to specify what they want

25 results

as Keywords

OR connector

I am just wondering where I can set that so that I can eliminate those settings from the user side of the search. ThanX!!! Tongue

The code on your search page should look like this:

Code:
  <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> 
                <tr><td>Search: <input type="TEXT" name="query" size="30"> <input type="Submit" value="Search"></td></tr> 
                <tr><td>Number of Results: <SELECT name="mh"><OPTION>10<OPTION SELECTED>25<OPTION>50<OPTION>100</SELECT></td></tr> 
                <tr><td>As Keywords: <input type="RADIO" name="type" value="keyword" CHECKED> As Phrase: <input type="RADIO" name="type" value="phrase"></td></tr> 
                <tr><td>AND connector: <input type="RADIO" name="bool" value="and" CHECKED> OR connector: <input type="RADIO" name="bool" value="or"></td></tr> 
            </table>

The parts in red are the "presets," you can change 'em..;

Is there a way to have those radio buttons checked without the user browsing the web seeing them?

Just  out the part you don't want. I tested on my site, and the search still worked fine. Question: why bother having the search page, if you're not going to offer some options on it? Just use a small search box such as is standard with the Links templates. You can remove the link to the "search options" from all your other pages.
