- - Custom Search (https://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=34044)

I'm using the code below to perform a custom search of my site, It currently searches the whole site but i want to limit it to searching one Category and its sub Categories.

It will make more sense when you see the page its used on:

http://www.impact-computers.co.uk/shop/pages.php?pageid=7

Can anyone help?

Code:

<p><FORM method="POST" action="search.php" name="productsearchform">

  <div align="center">

    <p>

      <INPUT type="hidden" name="simple_search" value="Y">

      <INPUT type="hidden" name="mode" value="search">

      <INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_title]" value="Y">

      <INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_shortdescr]" value="Y">

      <INPUT type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_fulldescr]" value="Y">

      <input type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_quickfind]" value="Y" />

      <strong>Enter Printer Name or Cartridge Number Below:    </strong></p>

    <p>

      <INPUT type="text" name="posted_data[substring]" size="16" style="border:1px inset #cccccc; color:#000000; background:#cccccc; width:128px;">

    </p>

    <p>

      

      <input type="submit" value="Search">

    </p>

    </div>

</FORM>

Re: Custom Search

Hello,

I was looking at your search engine and trying queries, it's quite impressive, did you mod the code yourself?

Re: Custom Search

No, its an updated version of the search.php file which i got from this forum as the standard x-cart search isn't really any use,

Re: Custom Search

Thanks for your response, it's really appreciated. I've searched the forum but there are a many threads relating to x-cart "search" topics and the same goes for the forum search engine, would you remember which thread is related to that search.php?

Re: Custom Search

I really don't remember, it was so long ago.

Can anyone help with the original search problem i posted?

Re: Custom Search

Thanks Impact, I did find an "Improved Search Function" thread here

http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=4415

It does have a lot of community involvement (posts) ...perhaps this is the original thread? The search tests I ran were very impressive, thanks again will keep thread handy.
