Well, I have been trying to adjust everything, but I keep getting the messages:
"Search term is too common" or "no matching records" when I use the advanced search form. I have changed it now. For all the definitions I want visitors to be able to search in I have included a textfield. I have deleted the text field with search, 'cause that wasn't helping one bit. Now I keep getting the message: "Searchterm is too common. Here's what I have for the Advanced Search form in site_html.pl:
Code:
sub site_html_search_form {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This routine displays the search form.
#
# $time : The current time.
# $date : The current date.
# $grand_total : The total number of links.
# my $action = shift;
&html_print_headers;
