Keyword-Search only on homepage?
Hi,
I am a veryvery bloody newuser. So my question might be simple to be answered: How can I get _only_ keyword-search on my homepage without using the entire form.
Thanks in advance
Oliver

This has been discussed before in the DBMAN Customization Forum...In addition there is a nice DBMAN FAQ web site that is linked in the Resource Center in the DBMAN section....

Anyway....

Put the following codes in your external web page:

Code:

<form action="http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi" method="GET">
<input type="hidden" name="db" value="default">
<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="default">
<input type="hidden" name="view_records" value="1">
Search for: <input type="text" name="keyword" size="40">
<input type="submit" name="view_records" value="Search">
</form>


To see an example of this, go to:

Still not working :(

here are my actual settings:

<form action="http://www.aerzte-homepage.de/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi" method="GET">
<tr>
<td>
<input type="hidden" name="db" value="default">
<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="default">
<input type="hidden" name="view_records" value="1">
<font face="Arial,Helvetica"><font size=-1>Suchbgriff:</font></font>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="keywords" size="40">
<input type="submit" name="view_records" value="search">
</td>
</tr>
</form>

The error is that the site can not be displayed because the url is noch valuable. What could I have done wrong?

The url for testing is: http://www.aerzte-homepage.de/test
If you follow "Profisuche" you get the usual search-form of db-man

Thanks to anybody who can help me out.

Welp...you actually need to use keyword rather than keywords for the keyword field.
