Hi:

I am trying to make an advanced serach page that will allow users to search on specific fields. I had it going once, but with server problems, I lost the code. It seems to me that there was some change that had to be made to sewarch,cgi or something... I am hoping someone will know what I need to do...

Anyway, I think I have the call right, for instance:

http://208.219.16.162/...;substring=1&d=1

This returns no results (and there should be...) (And yes, the field Director is weighted for search...)

Yet a regular search (with query=chuck+jones) will return results.

any ideas?

Double check your tags and form codes...because I get the following ERROR message:

Your search has matched in Unknown Tag: 'cat_hits' Series and No Cartoons.

Regards,

Hi Eliot!

yep, that is what I get, too. cat_hits is NORMALLY passed in search (do a normal "query" search, and it passes that variable normally.) so that is strange, too.

I am scratching my head because the same script and templete will pass results AND cat_hits if the search is query=chuck+jones, but if it is query=&Director=chuck+jones, no results AND no variable!

PS here is the query=chuck+jones hotlink:

http://208.219.16.162/...gi?query=chuck+jones

Found the PROBLEM!!!!!!

The SearchLogger PLUGIN does NOT allow this to work. I uninstalled Searchlogger, and the Direcor=chuck+jones search works (and that darn cat_hits is there!!!!!)

I will start looking at the code and see if I can figure that out. But don't count on me for a solution! If I do figure it out, I'll let Alex know so he can pop off an update!
