HTML Search Box

[imaginamation]

I want to put an html form search box on a page that will access the correct search for my store. Can, and how, can I do this?

 

Thank you to everybody,

Cory

Also, I want to have the search search in not just the product title, but in the description. Right now, a customer can only search by product name. I need them to be able to search for words in the description, how can I do this?

Hi,

To answer your first question, you could try building a normal HTML form, using the method "get" and set the action to the location of advanced_search_result.php like this:

 

<form method="GET" action="http://www.mystore.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php">
<input type="text" name="keywords">
<input type="submit" value="search">
</form>

 

That's how the form is built in boxes/search.php (the name "keywords" is important).

 

For your second question, there is a contribution that will search product descriptions, I believe it's called "SearchBox Enhancement".
