Hello,

I need to remove some parts of search phrase entered by user. In the concrete I need to remove the "www." and ".com" from "www.somedomain.com" because for "www.somedomain.com" there are no results but for "somedomain" there are! I tried to put this near the beginning of search.cgi:

foreach $term (@search_terms) {
$term =~ s/www//;
$term =~ s/com//;
}

But it did nothing. The search phrase stayed unmodified.
I also tried to search through this forum, but found nothing.

Does anybody knows how to solve it?

Maybe...

foreach $term (@search_terms) {
$term =~ tr|www||;
$term =~ tr|\.com||;
}

Hi Leonard,

thanks for your support. I tried it, but had no luck. Still doesn't works :( I tried it on many different places in the search.cgi and nothing. But I'm not too strong in Perl so maybe I'm not changing the right variable ...

Try...

sub main {
# --------------------------------------------------------
%in = &parse_form();
# Display the form if called with no input.
(keys %in <= 0) and &site_html_search_form() and return;

$in{'query'} =~ s/www//;
$in{'query'} =~ s/com//;
