We don't have any information for you regarding editing the search template at this time. |

I think it would be awesome to be able to embed in the article template at the bottom of each post a "related articles" feature that pulled up a list of related articles.
The only way that I have thought of customizing this myself was to be able to put in search results using a search term based on the category. And having those search results come up underneath the article. That would be great. For example if the blog was about sports, then the category could be:
Sports > Baseball > NY Mets
And you could embed in the bottom of the article template to pull up search results using the keyword of the current category "NY Mets".
This way it would provide the user with a list of every article that had the term "NY Mets" in it. Is this possible in any way? I mean, I know there is no way to edit the search template...yet, but if you knew the code to be able to include the results in the article template that would be great! |

We implemented a Keywords feature recently which pretty much does exactly what you describe in this post. See this URL for more information:
http://demo.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2004/8/15/124586.html
The only thing you need to be aware of is that our Keywords do no currently support phrases, so while you can add the keywords of baseball or Mets, you can not add a keyword phrase like NY Mets or The Mets should not sign Sammy Sosa.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am aware of the keywords feature, but the issue is that it doesn't support keyword phrases and so I have found that it doesn't provide the results I am looking for. Good feature though.
Is there any way for me to get the code to embed into the template? Is there a way that I can see the code on the search template page? I could even create a custom template if I knew the code. Any help here? |

When you say the code you are referring to the search results template? As I stated earlier, the search results template is not available for customization.
Maybe you just need a link from an article into related articles via the search engine? You can always construct your own link into searches like this:
http://demo.blogharbor.com/blog?cmd=search&keywords=NY+Mets
Replace the blog address with your own, of course. |

|

John, thanks for the reply. I have been using the keyword link that you gave in the last reply. It has been working great. I was wondering if you could help out with the following.
On the search results page I would like the meta title to say
{{blog.name}} - Search results for "xyz term":
So that xyz matches the term that was searched for. Do you know what I would need to put in the base template in the title tag to make that possible? I know how to create a custom title that would be general for all search result pages, but not individual for each one. Any Help? Thanks. |

The elements of the search results are not abstracted into variables for use in any of the templates, so you can not currently pass in the search query as part of the title. Save yourself the effort, it really is not possible to edit the search template nor to use search results in other templates. When we have this capability, we will let you know. |
