CMS Made Simple Forums

a separate app for searching a db-driven web site, use of iframes? sorry, i don't see how that's "simple" compared to an internal search function that would utilize the db; something i'm surprised wasn't one of the first things added to cmsms. i was rather disappointed when i first saw that cmsms's "search" relied upon google's site-search.

don't get me wrong, it's great to see people adding functionality to cmsms, it's just that an internal search routine should be a core feature, not something you have to hack together.

Hi kermit,

Certainly no one is saying that is a replacement for a custom search module, simply that it's the best we've got so far. Due to the nature of CMSMS's extensible architecture, writing a search module is not the easy task one might imagine.

In order for it to be able to search module data properly, some sort of module/plugin registration will be required. This is what the boys are working on now.

Remember, this CMS is still in itws infancy - not even v1.0 yet! Check the Road Map for more information on what's coming up. I think you'll be pleased.

Great article on getting phpDig implemented but I agree that iFrames should not be used. Has anyone came up with a way to do this without using iFrames?

A reply to this old article ?

We have a plugin pisearch since a long time and the latest is pisearch as a module (recommended) - see in the dev.

The last time I used PiSearch it did not support News and other modules such as Calendar. PhpDig spiders the entire site. Correct?

I never used PhpDig.
Plugin Pisearch did not support News.

Module Pisearch support News.

For Pisearch module you need minimal cms 0.13

Other Modules as Calendar or Kalendar etc.  have no methods to display the full text of one result.

There is no way to enable modules automatically to be able to work with module pisearch.

My bad... did not know that it was in module form now. Rock on!
