Hi,

I have one simple text box on the front end to search the news weblog. to search the news (in all fields like title,subtitle, desc) iam using the below code.

<?php

$search_txt = $_POST["txt_title"];

$vartest = $search_txt;

?> 

{exp:weblog:entries  weblog="add_edit_news" search:news-subtitle="<?php echo $vartest; ?>" search:news-desc="<?php echo $vartest; ?>"}


{title}<br><br>

 {/exp:weblog:entries}

but the above code is not working if use multiple custom fields. can anyone give me the syntax to search in all the fields.

thanks

Why not just use the simple search tag?  You can configure it for a specific weblog.

Using multiple search: is an AND statement, so only entries that match all search: statements will appear.

Thanks for the reply,

Lisa: can you wirte the syntax for the multiple search using {exp:weblog:entries search : }

Boyink: my look and feel of the search result page is diffrent fromm the default search result of the expression engine that why iam usnig the search or query module.

Any template can become your search results page which you can style and add your own content to, just like any other template.

On your new template you use Search Results Tag

How can i control the form action on the search form ? i want to send the form action to differnt page

The result page is a parameter, as is the no result page.

The syntax for the multiple search is as you have it - just using multiple search: parameters.

Can someone clarify - is it possible to do an “OR” kind of search based on multiple search parameters using the weblog tag or not?

supercollidr - no, you could put a feature request in for that though.
