anyone got any ideas why a search would return nothing - even though i know the word is in there?
it just comes back blank every time...

Do you have the variable "query" being passed along? E.G search.cgi?query=word. If not, then double check your form codes in all your templates.

yes - I have a query /cgi-bin/search.cgi" method="GET"
in it - it goes to do the search and comes back with no matching records even though i know the word is there...kinda odd... any ideas?

Uh...check the @search_fields array in the links.def file.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by the query

Ok, so when you do a search what do you get? search.cgi?query=wordhere&buttonname=something ???

search.cgi?query=wordhere

Hi Folks,

I'm having a similar problem and I tried applying this fix,
but don't really fully understand what to do...

when I do a search for something I know to be in the db I get
the following

*****
Your search returned 0 categories and 1 Links.

Categories:

Links

Pages:

*****
unfortunately whilst it indicates that it did find a link,
the page is not showing under the pages heading...

is this related to the problem being addressed here, or is
this a separate issue...any help with this would be great..best..jkh

In search_results.html what codes/tags do you have. For example:


It sounds like you may have missed a <%links%> tag somewhere

Hi Andy,

no, <%link_results%> was in tact, but when I went through it
many of the 'statements' were on the same line as eachother
and I seem to remember reading a post that said they had to
be on different lines...so I tried that and it worked:)

thanks so much for helping me with this

btw..I'm not sure how I came to send it as an email to you
my intention was to post it to the forum... guess I'm a
candidate for an acf?

I'm at this little Italian restaurant with Steve Jobs (Apple) and he hands me this CD and I put it in my laptop and it's the entire Mac OS X source code, and I say, "God that's beautiful, I wish I'd written that," and Jobs looks at me with his big dark eyes and says, "You will, Steve, you will."


ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, the one about hand and foot through outlook isn't that bad either
