Hi John,

Issue:
I would like to have a hyperlink in my component column that does a hardcoded search of a specific category, or the whole blog.

exampe: *issue closed* search of issues and reviews category

Any leads on this one ? -> I did not find any search component template to customize ?


Best,

It's not possible using our builtin search engine to search only a category of your blog...

If you want to create a link to a search result, you should simply be able to enter the search you want into the search box and click search, and make note of the URL. So if you search for "issue closed" you would see the resulting URL is:

http://yourblogurl/blog?cmd=search&keywords=issue+closed

Where yourblogurl is of course your own blog's URL.

I did not find any search component template to customize?

There are no search templates, the search engine results are not customizable.

Hi John,

Thank you very much for that simple workaround, ..., to bad that we cannot customize the search result. It would be a nice additional structural layer, ....

Hi John,


Implemented as you suggested. Works great accept for the mentioned template issue.

To use Keywords is a good idea, I have to look into it. I just need to be able to easily change the status of an article form open to closed, ......

Best,
