Where can I find specs about what search.cgi offers?

What is it that you want to know, exactly? IMHO, it is easier to explain what id DOESN'T have, than what it does. While you can do and/or searches, and exact field matches, it lacks in many other areas. The admin search screan allows regular expressions, partial field matches, sort by, and much more. You may want to consider using DBMAN as the search facility for Links, as it has the same search features as the admin search option.

Happy Coding,

Personally I'm looking for a search that can display all links in 1 category. Can I use a part of the code of DBMAN?

Note: Currently (and in the future alsow) I have only 3 category's with 40 links per category. I don't want to use the build-feature. Only search.cgi


So I want to:

- I want to offer users to search the complete database.
- I want to offer users to search only in 1 category.

- I want to display the results in 2 different ways:
- - only the results that matches the search-term
- - first the results that matches the search-term and then alle 'other' links in that category
- - all links in the whole category

I hope this all is possible. Or a modification is available.

Use DBMAN as your front-end search engine...as junko already recommended...save you a lot of time in hacking the search.cgi script.

Good luck!
