LetterSearch Plugin Query
Hello ...

I have installed LetterSearch, but can't get it to work in the expected way. It states the correct number of results, but does not list them, eg:

Your search returned 59 result(s).

followd by empty space.

URL looks like this ...

<path_to>/db.cgi?sid=<session_id>&do=search_results&keyword=*&db=orgs&let=G&col=title

Could I be doing something wrong?

Is that the same question?

You want to search on multiple keywords.

We would be happy with a list of search results. The results count is correct. We think we need to pass something else through the URL to get the actual results.

Yes, it's nearly the same question, but of course goes a little bit further:

Quote:
I am not really sure what the query-syntax is:

.../db.cgi?keyword=yamaha&db=Produkte&do=search_results&col=Produktname&mh=15&mul=1

gives me a result but if I add

../db.cgi?keyword=yamaha&db=Produkte&do=search_results&col=Produktname&mh=15&mul=1&let=y

my keyword-result-counter has 1300 results but nothing is displayed except a message "No results"

OK, so we are both doing something wrong!

It works for other people: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/..._string=LetterSearch

It feels like I've got a blind spot -- the answer is so obvious, I haven't noticed it.

Hi,

WHAT is the answer??

db.cgi?do=search_results&db=Produkte&let=black%20white&col=Produktname&mul=1

still always gives me 287 results but no result is dispayed!


EDIT:

Puhh, I've found the solution:

In my search-Results-template I have : <%if hits%>..<%endif%> but the Plugin doesn't return the hits!!!!

So insert the red marked into LetterSearch.pm and it works:

Quote:
return ('search_results.html', {
header => $home->_language('HEA_SRC_RESULT'),
results => \@output,
speedbar=> $speedbar,
hits => $hits,
msg => $home->_language('SRC_RESULT',$hits)});
}

Manu

Don't know what that means, but today you are my personal hero!

And so is TheStone, who wrote this remarkably useful Plugin in the first place.

Tongue Well, sometimes it's quite simple !

I was searching for ages for a bug in the search routine (and got no useful help in this forum)! Now I'm glad to found the simple solution.

[By the way: Puhh=Uhh=Uff=ahhh=at last Wink]
