Hi. Is it possible to have a link that when clicked searches its contents.

For example:

<a href="http://link">{gallery_keywords}</a>

The ‘gallery_keywords’ are brought in from the article entry, and each could be clicked and searched separately.

Thank you!

Chris,

I’m afraid that the way our search module operates, that wouldn’t be possible in the manner you describe. The search module runs the query, caches the results, and returns a token to that cache to the results page for better performance. You could likely do something similar to this however:

{exp:search:simple_form channel="news"}
<input type=“hidden" name="keywords" id="keywords" value="{gallery_keywords}" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" class="submit" />
{/exp:search:simple_form}

You could use some javascript to make a link to submit the form, and the {gallery_keywords} variable would need to contain words separated by a space, but it should work.

Cheers,
