Search box to search product descriptions automatically

[Guest]

when you go into advanced search options you can search the product descriptions, im wanting the little search box in the right hand collumn to search the descriptions automatically without having to tick a box. how do i do this?

 

this is the code of the search box...

 

?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
						   'align' => 'center',
						   'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '</b></a>');

 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

 

 

 

 

and this is the code of the advanced search where you tick the box to include product description...

 

 

<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => HEADING_SEARCH_CRITERIA);

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'style="width: 100%"'));
 $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right', 'text' => tep_draw_checkbox_field('search_in_description', '1') . ' ' . TEXT_SEARCH_IN_DESCRIPTION);

 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

 

thanks if anyone can help!

Simply change the line

 

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right', 'text' => tep_draw_checkbox_field('search_in_description', '1') . ' ' . TEXT_SEARCH_IN_DESCRIPTION);

to

 

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right', 'text' => tep_draw_checkbox_field('search_in_description', '1', true) . ' ' . TEXT_SEARCH_IN_DESCRIPTION);

Sorry, missed that, I though u just wanted the option in advanced search

 

replace

 

$info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),

with

 

 $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, 'search_in_description=1', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),

I suspect u have smthg else going on, should work, but an alternative for same is:

 

 

replace:

 

'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '</b></a>');

with:

 

'text' => tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description',1) . tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '</b></a>');
