Regarding search
How-To Posted by on Thursday January 23, 04:23AM, 2003
from the dept.
Where is the search object present in Squishdot?

When I perform a search over squishdot, the request is submitted to 'search', but I don't find any object with that name. I want to customize my search; need to modify the code for search. But where can I find that? please guide.

'search' is a method of the Squishdot Site object.
You don't want to be customising that code.

Tell me what you're trying to achieve and I'll provide you with a solution.

cheers,

Chris

    I have squishdot under CMF. I want the CMF's search engine to search for the squishdot postings. Though I have succeded in this, I cannot merge the search results. As of now, I am able to display the results in a single page but as separate groups. Is there any way so that I can throw the search results as a single list with 'next', 'previous' links appropriately?

      Not easily... the problem comes in merging and sorting the two lists of results.

      I'd stick with them in seperate groups if I were you.

      cheers,

      Chris

      Squishdot is just an enhanced ZCatalog, so you apply all the ZCatalog functions.

      For example, you can set various ZCatalog search parameters in the REQUEST object, then call searchResults

      Best to do this in Python and then merge your two lists.

      Not difficult if you have some programming experience.

    A recipe for a search box that returns a search on multiple (local) squishdot instances would be very appreciated.

      Also not easy, unless you want one page with a group for each site.

      I'd suggest having only one Squishdot site and using 'subjects' to split the types of posting.

      cheers,

      Chris
