EE2.3.1

It seems that searching Keywords and custom search fields for “year” and “month” won’t work.

{exp:search:advanced_form result_page="orders/search" channel="purchased_items" status="open|complete" show_expired="yes"}
<input type="hidden" name="search_in" value="everywhere" />
<input type="hidden" name="where" value="any" /> 
<input type="text" name="keywords" />
<input type="text" name="year" />
<input type="text" name="month" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
{/exp:search:advanced_form}

Where foo (keyword) 2011 (year) 10 (month) should return results.

Any ideas on how I can filter search by year and month?

Hi Rob,

Did this work previously for you? I can’t recall custom fields working like this in the Advanced search form.
The only date selection would be the should be the date field allowing you to search a certain number of days ago and then filter desc or asc

I would maybe look at SuperSearch here or change your workflow to set up a filter on the results page itself for the date range

Hi John

No this is the first time I’ve tried it, shame it doesn’t work - anyhow I have found another method of outputting the data!

Rob,

Good to hear you’ve got it working now. don’t hesitate to post again when needed.
