Here Here.. I would also like a Final tally of what we need to do for 4.0.13. Code here code there code everywhere...i don't know what to grab. *smile*

One single final post with a 4.0.13 solution would be nice. *smile*

No Clue
 

Using 4.0.12. Whenever I have tried to use this mod the same thing has happened. As soon as I hit search it takes me back to the index page (home page). When I use the default search.php it searches without problem.

I know less about JS than I do PHP. SO I have no clue where to even start looking at this.

Parse error when stripping the "s" from include/se
 

I have added the below code to remove the last "s" from search string, but receive a smarty sparse error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/giftcom/public_html/include/search.php on line 659"

// LOOK HERE
// new bit to split search string into separate words
$con = ""; $substr = "";
$and="AND";

if(!$substring) { $substring=" "; }
if(!empty($substring)){

// code to strip last s from search string
$substring = trim($substring);
$start = (strlen($substring)-1);
// echo $start;
// echo "
";
if ((substr($substring,$start,1)=="s")||(substr($subs tring,$start,1)=="S")){
$substring = substr($substring,0,$start);
// echo $substring;
}
// end of new funkydunk bit

Can this be fixed? What and where does the correct code go?

It does not like me .... just blows up the page. I MUST be doing something wrong.

All I did was copy and paste the entire code in place of that in search.php

Did you try putting that new search.php file into the "include" folder? I just did that and it worked like a charm.

To get the search to pick up product codes (sku's) in my 4.0.13 store where I do not use the full description field, I did a search and replace with my text editor in the following files:

search.php
include/search.php
skin1/customer/search.tpl

I replaced "fulldescr" with "productcode". This seems to work great for picking up the product code.

To get the s's stripped from the search term, I revised funkydunk's original code a bit.

In the 4.0.13 include/search.php file,

I replaced this

Code:

---

$data["substring"] = trim($data["substring"]);

---

with this

Code:

---

$data["substring"] = trim($data["substring"]);
  // code to strip last s from search string
  $start = (strlen($data["substring"])-1);
  // echo $start;
  // echo "
";
  if ((substr($data["substring"],$start,1)=="s")||(substr($data["substring"],$start,1)=="S")){
  $data["substring"] = substr($data["substring"],0,$start);
  // echo $substring;
  }
  // end of code to strip last s from search string

---

This seems to work fine.

Hope this helps.

Improved Search Function - Fix
 

Thanks, this works great in 4.0.13 for stripping the 's' and making a search on plurals possible.

Hear is a compilation of everything I have found on this list for 4.0.13
*Bluecats Original Posted search.php (so I think)
+Categories Fixed
+Sku Mod (Note: You must add a hidden field or checkbox in /customer/main/search_results.tpl see below)
+Strip "S" Mod
+ Match Any Term Mod OR Match Exact Phrase (Uncomment/Comment starting at line 211)
+Allow Simple search on Home page to search sku, extra fields, title, descr and fulldescr(see below)

Notes:
(Works in 4.0.13)
This was the pinnacle of what I wanted, now all I need is it to sort by how many times the Query (keywords) matches a product So if the words ferrari and Enzo were found 5 times in One product and only 2 times in another it shows the product with the most instances of that keyword First.

The Match Any Term(default) is less picky and gives a broad search results. Unfortunately the results are not Sorted by relavance to the search phrase.(this is the only mainstream improvement I see left to develope.)
(7/15/05) Mach Any Term was default in this mod I am switching back to x-carts default of Match Phrase.

Hear is the Code(/include/search.php):
Put this code in (search_results.tpl) to enable sku search in the "search by pattern" field
Located just under the form tag or with the other checkboxes.(bug fix 7/15/05 value"->value=")

To allow the simple search on the Home page To search SKU and Extra Fields
In (/customer/search.tpl) find the below:

Replace the above code with the below:(Updated 6/14/05) Added {if $v.fieldid ne ''}{/if} it cleans up the page source(not a bug fix)
