How to make my search work?

[Kae]

Hey, guys. I've been a daily visitor of this forum and have learned a lot from you, thanks for that. \o/

I'm learning php, so I'm quite noob =( , and decided to try and learn it with processwire. I'm loving it. I really enjoy the fact that I can build something based on totally different approaches.

But  I'm having a problem on how to create and structure a Search. Can someone provide me a few tips on where to begin?

Thanks in advance

xoxo

Hi Kae,

Welcome to the forums!

The default ProcessWire install comes with a template file called search.php. It's a demo of search functionality. If you are still learning PHP and hopefully some PW basics too ...I suggest you have a look at that file first and grasp what is going on. As you can see, it is only a few lines of code. You can change a couple of things to suit your needs. If you require more specific help, feel free to post questions

Hi Kae,

Welcome to the forums!

The default PW profile and the Zurb Foundation profiles that are available all come with a search box, search template, search page and associated search.php file. Have you tried using these? Or do you need something more customized?

Well Kongondo just beat me to it

Thank you guys!

I took a little longer to reply because I had connection issues.

After looking at the files I could finally understand it (and the search works!!!). Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction = )
