How do I change a default in the search function?

Hi all,

I wish to change an option in the search page to always default to selected, regardless of what the last person may have clicked in their last search. I had the x-cart people give me a "publisher" choice which goes on the same line as the Product Title etc (straight under the search box), I played with search.php so now it will come up as ticked if no-one else has chosen to untick it in their last search.

What file do I have to change to have it so it is always selected when someone first goes to the search? I have done a search for a particular publisher on my site, then chosen the "this url" link so I see the search parameters and then added that as a link to a list of publishers. Unfortunately that relies on the publisher option being selected to work, and sometimes it isn't automatically selected.

Can anyone help? Thanks

We need to do to search options (when you update the page) were active always?

Hi yes,

That is what I am after, that that particular search option is always active.

1. First backup file "skin1/customer/main/search_result.tpl".

2. Please edit this file and add next line to begin of the file:

PHP Code:


		
			
{assign var="is_empty_search_prefilled" value="1"}
