How do I get the search result by looping everything in database and retrieve the result as match data?

Thanks

Are using the built-in search module?

Yeah i want to use the built-in search module, but have no idea how to kick off to use that. Any instruction to read? A little bit details. Thanks

You’ve read the docs, I assume?

yeah, but not so understanding how to implement it :(

Basically:

- Make sure fields are searchable (each one has a yes/no setting).
- Create a results template to display results
- Create a no results template to show a message when no results
- Put the simple search form somewhere on your site, configuring it to point to your templates and telling it what channels to search in.

Hi Boyink!
Thanks for your instruction by step by step .Thank you for useful information. It is exactly what I needed. I managed to get here everything that I need for my site. Applause for a author!

Cheers!

Hi Boyink,

Is there any way to search all channels not just a specific channels? When it comes to search it would be useful to search every channel entries right?

Thanks

Just specify all your channels.

For me there always seem to be some channels that it doesn’t make sense to search.

Plus each channel needs a search results URL defined as well so the search result links are pointed correctly.

Hi boyink!,

Your help was very helpful, I did get all the result from every channels we mentioned and not every channels are put into search. You were right.

So here is my code to display the search result

{exp:search:search_results}
  <div class=“search-result”>
                <h2 class=“headerRegular”>{title}</h2>
               
                {full_text}
               
                Content type: Press release
  </div>

{/exp:search:search_results}

The problem is that I could not get the real link of the results.

The link it generated is something like this http://localhost/ticambodia.org/index.php/youth-camp-empowering-young-people-to-demand-for-transparency-and-integrity. actually, I have them running on real webhosting already, but it still showing the localhost.

Any ideas?

Thanks

How are you building the link? I don’t see it in your code.

{exp:search:search_results}
   <div class="search-result">
                        <h2 class="headerRegular"><a href="http://{if">{title}</a></h2>
                        
                        {full_text}
                        
                        <span class="headerRegular">Content type:</span> Press release
   </div>

{/exp:search:search_results}

Here it is

Have you looked to see how auto_path is populated?

<a href="http://localhost/ticambodia.org/index.php/youth-camp-empowering-young-people-to-demand-for-transparency-and-integrity">http://localhost/ticambodia.org/index.php/youth-camp-empowering-young-people-to-demand-for-transparency-and-integrity</a>

Here is what i got. and the title is Youth Camp Empowering Young People to Demand for Transparency and Integrity. When the actually title is not that.

I want it to search all the title of each channel entries where I wanted to search and the content of its, but some channel entries has different channel fields. But I think there will be a trick to grab all titles, contents and links from the actual channel entries.

Thanks
