dscottf Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 or just plain searching by description. I am working on putting together a Photo gallery with prints for sale, and need to be able to have people put in (the simple search box) 'waterfall' and have all the pictures of waterfalls found. I havn't found where to enter any keywords in the product entry (although the search box says I can search and 'Use keywords to find the product you are looking for.') I have put 'keywords' in the product description, but that does not seem to work either (even in advanced search) try it youself at http://gallery.hyperionstudio.com help??

Guest Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Scott, In the contributions there is one called Custom Quick search. It searchs both the product name and the product description. Works great! I have it installed on my own site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscottf Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 Thanks Kim, I grbbed it. I am lost on this part though: 1) Execute the custom_quicksearch.sql on your database. See OSc INSTALL file on how to do this. I don't see anything in either catalog/INSTALL or admin/INTALL that helps me. I am really new at this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Do you use phpmyadmin? If you do just open phpmyadmin, and browse for the .sql file, then click go. the database will then be updated. (Should be anyway...) CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Yeah...I had to think about that one a little too, but do what CC said. PS-Since that search did exactly what I wanted....I removed the link to the advanced search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 PS-Since that search did exactly what I wanted....I removed the link to the advanced search. I must admit I did the same, it helps to tidy up the main page. But I did then add a link to Advanced Search on the search results page. Just so they could have some other options if they needed them. CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Steve, Did you see my new contrib? I put the custom quick search in the category infoBox...One less box and it looks pretty cool...at least to me... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
