Hi everyone,

I'm using Business Directory 6.1 with XMod 553. 

I have read step 5 - XMod Additional Form Settings – Advanced Search (Optional Form) in BD6.1 Documentation for configuration and understand it will pass the URL parameters value to the Detail Form to show the result.  I also configured the "Filter by URL parameters" (in Xmod module menu > Configure XMod Module > Data Settings > Filtering > Filter Using URL Parameter) so the listing page will show the result with criteria.

In Configure XMod Module > Data Settings > User Searching - User Search Options, I can choose many search fields for searching. In the listing page, I have one Search box which can receive any keyword and it will search among the search fields I have set.

Is there a way to create a customize textbox in Search Form (like Advanced Search Form) like that? One text box for any keyword and it will search in many fields?

I hope to see any suggestions from you!

Thank you!

First off, I would suggest that you upgrade to XMod 5.5.4. There were additional fixes that were specific to DNN Professor applications.

The upgrade is available in the Snowcovered.com patches and hot fix section.

In regards to a separate search, it becomes a bit complicated due to the way XMod data is set up in SQL index tables.

A SQL search would need to combine unions and like operaters to traverse the index tables.

Tony Harrison, owner of Fat George, has created some custom search applications for Business Directory users.

You may want to contact him at http://fatgeorge.co.uk..

You can also reference the XMod forums at http://dnndev.com/Support/Forums.aspx and perform a forum search on custom search.

You can also contact Kelly Ford, developer of XMod, at http://dnndev.zendesk.com/ for advice on XMod searching.

hi,

i think,in regards to a separate search, it becomes a bit complicated due to the way XMod data is set up in SQL index tables, as you will have found one of the limitations of using URL parameters for filtering the XMod listings is that XMod performs an AND query so your listing record would have to meet all the filters. i want to continue to use functions providing by BD. thanks.
