SEARCH MODULE

Ann 06 Aug, 2009
Hi,

My website has a search engine/module. When i enter a name e.g. William Drake - it pops up with ONLY 8 records. However, the list should also indicate other workshop proposals. I realised that one or 2 workshops are not listed when we search his name.

The website uses different tables e.g. one table is for review process and the other is for workshops. I read some of the comments on the forum and came across one which said that if we are searching the data in only 1 Database table then we can use ChronoConnectivity but if since we are trying to search many tables or the whole site then we need a global search module!

I am using several tables but ONE DATABASE - then why isn't the search function producing the results? Only 8 records show up but not more than 8....

And what do you mean by global search module...

Please advise

Hi Anju,

What search are you using? MySQL is fairly flexible but you have to code it carefully to get the results that you expect.

You are right that ChronoForms only supports single table searches (though I have been able to hack the code to use more complex mulit-table searches OK).
