    search with dropdown menu returns no results



    I'm trying to create a dropdown box/search box combo while using the
    Extra Product Field and Search Manager modules.

    I've tried to follow the example that came with the EPF module but
    when I perform any search I get the "No matching products found"
    error. Can you see the problem?

    -----------------------snip-------------------------------------

    <form method =3D "post" action =3D"<A HREF ="http://www.mydomain.com/Merchant2/mercha=">http://www.mydomain.com/Merchant2/mercha=</A>
    nt.mvc?>
    <INPUT TYPE =3D "hidden" NAME =3D "Store_Code" value =3D "storecode"=
    >
    <font size=3D"2"> <font face=3D"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
    <input type =3D "hidden" name =3D "Screen" value =3D "SRCHM">
    <input type =3D "hidden" name =3D "BrokSearch_Have_List_Fields" value=
    =3D"1">
    Search for:
    <select name=3D"search">
    <option value=3D"0">All Products</option>
    <option value=3D"1">Book Name</option>
    <option value=3D"PC1">Pattern Number</option>
    <option value=3D"01">Wallpaper</option>
    <option value=3D"02">Borders</option>
    </select>
    <input type=3D"text" name=3D"Search_search" size=3D"15" value=3D"">
    <input name=3D"submit" type=3D"image"
    src=3D"Merchant2/graphics/go1.gif" width=3D"21" height=3D"21">
    </font></font>
    </form>

    -----------------------snip-------------------------------------

    Is "Store_Code" supposed to actually be a store code of some sort for
    this to work? Where can I find this code?

    Also, the URL on the search results screen looks like this --
    <A HREF ="http://www.mydomain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?><INPUT%20TYPE%20=3D">http://www.mydomain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?><INPUT%20TYPE%20=3D</A>

    is this normal? using the default search box give results and also
    has the weird URL on the search results page.

    If the dropdown menu can't be achieved can anyone tell me how to open
    the search field wide open so that anything entered into the search
    box will search against anything in the product table?

    thanks for any help,
    Troy

    search with dropdown menu returns no results



    First thing that pops out immediately is the missing " and extra in
    your form action and the next input line has a at the end.

    Change it to this:

    <form method = "post" action
    ="<A HREF ="http://www.mydomain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?">">http://www.mydomain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?"></A>
    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Store_Code" value = "storecode">

      Vic,

      Thanks for the response! I did what you suggested and got a new error
      due to not having the storecode entered correctly. I fixed that but my
      search attempts still result in the no matching products found error.

      Since I can't get this to work do you have any idea how to make the
      default search box return results on all product fields instead of
      just the product name?

      thanks,
      Troy

        Have you tried contacting Viking's Support?

        Its always best to open a support ticket with the vendor for specific
        help with a module.

          search with dropdown menu returns no results



          yes - here is their response :)

          Please read the FAQ included in the Search Manager zip file. You might
          also find useful info via the Miva Merchant user list (archived at:
          www.mvdevelopment.com/mvlists. You will have to build your own forms
          for this - it's not a functionality of the actual module.

            search with dropdown menu returns no results



            Their FAQ does include examples on adding hidden form fields in your
            form as to which fields to match on.

            In addition to the Search Manager fields, you'll have to register Extra
            Product Fields as a third party module in Search Manager, and follow the
            syntax guide for the registered token to reference those fields in a
            search.

            The last part of the FAQ is relevant to your issue:

            A: To add a "static" search field to your store you can use the code:

            <FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION
            ="<A HREF ="http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?>">http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?></A>
            <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Store_Code" VALUE = "storecode">
            <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Screen" VALUE = "SRCHM">
            <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Search_desc" VALUE="0">
            <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Search_name" VALUE="1">
            <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "BrokSearch_Have_List_Fields" VALUE="1">
            Search for:<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Search_search"
            SIZE="15" VALUE="">
            <input type="image" name="submit">
            </form>

            The "Search_desc" and "Search_name" variables represent the search
            options (i.e. search description and search name). A value of 1 means
            that field will be searched. The other fields:

            Search_attrib
            Search_weight
            Search_desc
            Search_price
            Search_image
            Search_thumb
            Search_code
            Search_name
            Search_phrase
            Search_case
            Search_keys
            Search_whole
            Search_and
            Search_ctgy

            To search the fields of the Additional Fields Manager, you would use the
            field id (shown on the "Additional Fields" tab) such as:
            <input type="hidden" name="SearchAdd_1" value="1">
            where "1" is the field id.

            It is also possible to provide a URL/Link which contains the terms to be
            searched:

            <A HREF ="http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=storecode&Scre">http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=storecode&Scre</A>
            en=SRCHM&Search_name=1&HF=1&Search_Search=dog

            As in the form above, the Search_name=1 means that the name field would
            be searched. You could add other fields by adding those to the url:
            <A HREF ="http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=storecode&Scre">http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=storecode&Scre</A>
            en=SRCHM&Search_name=1&Search_desc=1&HF=1&Search_S earch=dog

            If you want to search a term w/ spaces in it you need to replace the
            spaces w/ +. So to search dog catcher you would have
            Search_Search=dog+catcher

            It is actually possible to shorten the URL/form but it gets a little
            more complex. The search options are passed to the page in the variable
            SearchOptions, which is a "binary" representation of the options. So if
            ALL options had been selected by the customer it would look like
            11111111111111. If only the AND option had been selected, then it would
            look like 00000000000010.

            The positions, left to right, are:

            Search_attrib position 1
            Search_weight position 2
            Search_desc position 3
            Search_price position 4
            Search_image position 5
            Search_thumb position 6
            Search_code position 7
            Search_name position 8
            Search_phrase position 9
            Search_case position 10
            Search_keys position 11
            Search_whole position 12
            Search_and position 13
            Search_ctgy position 14

            So to search the name and description you would have the URL:

            <A HREF ="http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=storecode&Scre">http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=storecode&Scre</A>
            en=SRCHM&SearchOptions=00100001000000&HF=1&Search_ Search=dog

            Similarly, there is a string for the Additional Fields: AddOptions (eg.
            AddOptions=1|4). In this case the positions are actually the field ids
            (as listed on the Additional Fields Manager tab). So if you want to
            automatically search field ids 1 and 4, you would have AddOptions=1|4.

            So to search Additional Fields 1 and 2 your URL would become:

            <A HREF ="http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=S&Screen=SRCHM">http://www.yourstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=S&Screen=SRCHM</A>
            &SearchOptions=00100001000000&HF=1&AddOptions=1|2& Search_Search=dog

            This may seem longer than the original URL but that URL only searched
            the name field and this is as long as the URL will get regardless of the
            number of options you want to include.
