Ajax Search Engine – Doesn't search news or faq module

[benn]

The ajax search is perfect for my needs, except that it doesn't search within the news or faq modules.

I know the new search for cmsms version 1 searches within the news module but doesn't have the highlight function plugin 'function.content_highlight' that ajax has.

Can someone Help? Or improve the Excellent ajax search engine.

Hi

what did you do to get ajax search to work on your system?
At my system it always fails (cms 1.02)

This problem took weeks to solve. In the end I used pisearch but added the Ajax highlight function to it.

Here's what to do:

Install
pisearch 1.71
ajax plugin: function.content_highlight.php (into plugins folder)

Then edit pisearch in the content menu
Form:

Code: Select all

<!-- Start PisearchForm -->
<form action="http://www.webber-design.com/RCPCH/index.php?page=Pisearch" method="post">
 <table summary="Pisearchtable">
  <tr>
  	<td>
	<label for="Inputfeld for words to search"><h4>Search</h4></label>
	</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><input type="text" value="Words to search ..." maxlength="255" size="25" name="pisearch" id="searching" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  	<td><select name="special" size="1">
	<option value="0">Standard</option>
	<option value="1">Soundex</option>
	<option value="2">Levenshtein</option>
	<option value="3">Similar Text</option>
	</select>
	</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  	<td>
	<select name="textlength" size="1">
	<option value="100">100 Length of text  </option>
	<option value="200">200 Length of text  </option>
	<option value="300">300 Length of text  </option>
	<option value="400">400 Length of text  </option>
	</select>
	</td>
  </tr>

  <tr>
  	<td>
	<input type="submit" value="{$searchbutton}" id="buttonSearch" />
  	<input type="hidden" name="action" value="showresults" />
  	</td>
  </tr>
 </table>
</form>
<!-- End ModPisearchForm -->
