sackling Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I am having a problem where the search bar form that I created is only search the title of my products. here is the code I am using to create my search form: <input name="search_in_description" value="1" type="hidden"> <table width="150" border="0" class="searchborder"> <form name="quick_find" method="get" action="http://www.mysite.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?language=en"> <tr> <td><input name="keywords" class="searchinput" type="text" style="width:135px" onFocus="if(value=='Keyword Search')value='';" value="Keyword Search" size="20" maxlength="30"></td> <td><input name="Go" src="../site_files/magglass.gif" align="middle" type="image"></td></form> </tr> </table> I am guessing it has something to do with the search_in_description maybe? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much. You have 2 problems: 1 <input name="search_in_description" value="1" type="hidden"> must occur within the form tags to work. 2. You must use tep_href_link for all links & forms or you may loose the session. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=330479&pid=1377172&start=&st=#entry1377172 Sam Remember, What you think I ment may not be what I thought I ment when I said it.

I still haven't had time to figure out #2 of yours but I moved the form around correctly. The problem is that even if I just type the url in: http://www.mysite.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=test It says there are no results found. But if I type in another keyword such as pants it find all the items that have pants in the title. does this still have to do with tep_href? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooks Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 if u enter your query string directly, then only its contents apply, to test your form & its hidden content you must submit the form!! tep_href_link is a sessions issue, nothing more, I suggest you re-read the thread.

Thanks so much! I got it to work with your advice and someone elses post. But most of all you pointed me in the right direction as to way it was taking 2 clicks to login and complete other tasks.
