I created a template to filter on a certain value and have the channel:entries tag set up as follows for testing purposes…

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="10" dynamic="no" orderby="entry_date" paginate="both" search:title="Steve Jobs"}
{if no_results}{coming_soon}{/if}    
{articles_listing_details}
{/exp:channel:entries}

...however as you can see from the link below, it returns everything.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Frustratingly, the “title” field appears to be exempt from the search parameter in {exp:channel:entries}. According to the docs you can only use the search parameter if you are searching a custom field in the entry (e.g a Text Input, Textarea or Drop-down List field)

Hope this helps,
Chuck

Thanks, that does help.

Doesn’t work when I set it to body either but since I need to filter on title, it looks like this parameter isn’t going to work for me.

However, this plug-in works splendidly (once you correct the syntax error, see the forum for the plug-in):

Excellent, i’ll definitely have a look at that plug-in, can think of a million times when it would’ve been useful!

Thanks for helping out, Chuck! Tom, is there anything else I can help you with?

That’s it Kevin, thanks!

Great! Feel free to return the next time you need some help!
