search with OR and not AND

webcrea 23 Mar, 2017

Hi,
cc6 build search with AND when several fields are indicate in "Searchable fields". In this case nothing appears in result,
Is it possible to build the query with OR ?
Thanks

Hi Chris,

Yes, but you will need to add the fields in the "where conditions" instead and remove them from the "searchable fields".

Model.field1/LIKE:%{data:keywords}%
OR
Model.field2/LIKE:%{data:keywords}%
OR
Model.field3/LIKE:%{data:keywords}%

Best regards,
Max

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

HI
Further to this - how can I modify the query so:
[pre](
Model.firstname/LIKE:%{data:firstname}%[br]AND[br]Model.lastname/LIKE:%{data:lastname}%[br])[br]OR[br]Model.address/LIKE:%{data:address}%[/pre]
[br]
I can't seem to force those enclosing (). I have tried 'escaping' them /( and /) with no success. Do I need to resort to PHP?????

Regards

Hi,

do you try this ?

Model.firstname/LIKE:%{data:firstname}%

Model.lastname/LIKE:%{data:lastname}%

OR

Model.address/LIKE:%{data:address}%

(
Model.firstname/LIKE:%{data:firstname}%
AND
Model.lastname/LIKE:%{data:lastname}%
)/-
OR
Model.address/LIKE:%{data:address}%/-

Thanks Gents. I can get Christophe's solution to work just fine but not that from HealyHatman.
Pretty sure that I have the syntax copied correctly:-

(
mdlCheckName.lastname/LIKE:{data:lastname}%
AND
mdlCheckName.firstname/LIKE:{data:firstname}%
)/-
OR
mdlCheckName.street/LIKE:{data:address}%/-

I am just checking that some more.
Regards

Nick
