Hi all, I did a search on modx forums and could not find any relevant answer.

I would like to have a snippet call that extract either the latest searches made to the database or the most popular searches, or something similar.  Is this doable?

Thanks,
Jose R. Lopez

Not in it's current form. You'd need to log all searches in order to do that.

Although I guess it wouldn't be that hard to add this. Just create a new table for the log (with query and timestamp fields) and add a line to insert that info whenever a search is made. Once the data is saved to a table, it's just a matter of deciding how you want to display it later.

Thanks for the tip.  I will play with that this weekend.

Thanks.

Another issue I had was that if someone make a search with an apostrophe character (') it generates an error. I corrected this adding the following line just after line 46 always of AjaxSearch.php file:

Code:

$searchString = str_replace("'", "\\'", $searchString);

I had this problem with version 1.0 also, and I hacked AjaxSearch.inc.php to work around it by using double quotes for the query and removing them from the search string (which allowed me to search for words with apostrophes).

Hi all.

I am using modx for product documentation. There will be two products, split from the top level parent. Is there a way to customised this snippet to only return results of one document branch or the other? Perhaps identifiable from the branch ultimate parent currently browsing.

I am using different templates for both branches, so I am happy to run different snippets if this is the easiest way to progress.

The other option is to include a breadcrumb path in the returned global search results.

Either way, I'm looking for the best method of the search being directed to one branch or the other, or the results being more intutive as to which branch it relates to.

I love this search snippet for the highlighting feature, so I'd like to use it if I can.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

OK, I have updated the package for AjaxSearch to a complete 1.6 get it in the repository:

Hi Kyle, thanks for updating the package. Is it missing 'index-ajax.php' for the root? I just get the 'loading' image running.

[kylej]

If you are using modx ver > 0.9.5 it is included with modx

[Robsta]

Ah right. So the 1.6 update does not need a newer version of the file? I've upgraded to 1.6 from the shipped version for modx 0.9.5 (following instructions of course), and it doesn't seem to want to work. I'll PM you the URL if I may as I don't want to add it to the post.

I've reverted back to v1. Is there a way of making it be selective in which document branch to search?

[kylej]

No, the only way to restrict the search is by setting the documents you don't want searched to unsearchable.

Hi, i love this snippet, thanks so much.
But there are some issues i've faced.
- In ie7 with default settings #ajaxSearch_output  isn't visible.
- AjaxSearch code isn't valid strict xhtml (i've <p> tags to form then validated.)

ps: sorry for my english.

[betoranaldi]

So here is my issue, i want to be able to search a specific container which this snippet doesnt do. but I also need to search TVs which this is the only search snippet that does do it.

Is there anyway to modify this so that it willl only search a specific parent?>

Thanks
Brian

I've been trying for ages to fix a problem I'm having with AjaxSearch 1.6 (the version shipped with 0.9.6-RC3).
The problem is similar to some on this thread, in that I have one call to AjaxSearch in my template, like this:

Code:

[!AjaxSearch? &AS_landing=`8` &ajaxSearch=`0` &AS_showResults=`0`!]

and my (uncached) landing page has a single call:

Code:

[!AjaxSearch? &AS_showForm=`0` &AS_showResults=`1` &extract=`1`!]

However, no search results are ever displayed.
If I turn on &ajaxSearch=`1` then results are displayed as a live popup, but this breaks the template and also is not suitable for what is supposed to be a very simple site.
You can try my live site here: http://www.maxwellmcknight.org.uk

I've checked the snippet code, and it is definitely the updated version with only one "include_once" call.

Any ideas greatly appreciated,

I was going through my 0.9.5 installation's headers and I noticed a 404 on the following:

GET /assets/snippets/AjaxSearch/search.gif HTTP/1.1

I searched the code and the html and js and I'm not finding a call to search.gif

I'm wondering if anyone knows what might be causing this?

Thanks for the help!

[Robsta]

I've just noticed that the search does not take into account permissions on documents restricted to specific webusers document groups.

Ie, I have some documents that are not available without a user logging in... however the search will happily list them without the need to log in. The page is not accessible, however it's existance can be shown which is not ideal.

Using snippet version v1.0, as shipped with v0.9.5.

[nosebleed]

Call in the template:

Code:

[!AjaxSearch? &AS_showForm=`1` &language=`slovenian` &AS_landing=`30` &addJscript=`1` &extract=`1` &AS_showResults=`0` &ajaxSearch=`0` &depth=`11` !

And my result page (id=30) call looks like this:

Code:

[[AjaxSearch? &AS_showForm=`0` &AS_showResults=`1` &language=`slovenian` &ajaxSearch=`0` ]]

I hope it helps.

Thanks, it helps for me : ))

Great snippet,

however I have couple questions;
what's the css class for the "* results found for"? I think i tried all the css from the snippet page but nothing seems to help me move it.

also, any option to have different styling for the snippet call? for example one style for side bar search and one for "search.html" page?

[sinbad]

better yet,
anyone have *maybe* a simple layout where the GO button is attached to the search input and the infotext/error message is below?
