By default, the Article Manager search engine will search all article
fields with the exception of the image caption field. In version 1.24
of Article Manager, a search query option was added to allow searching
in a specific field or combination of fields. Now by editing your search
query string, you can return specific key word results based on searching
specific fields.
Here is some examples of searching a specific field using "anykeyword"
for the search key word.
Search the title field only:
/search.cgi?fields=name&keyword=anykeyword
Search the content only:
/search.cgi?fields=content&keyword=anykeyword
Search the summary only:
/search.cgi?fields=summary&keyword=anykeyword
Search specific article field number only:
/search.cgi?fields=art_field1&keyword=anykeyword
Search specific image caption field number only:
/search.cgi?fields=caption1&keyword=anykeyword
To search specific multiple fields, create a search query list using a
comma as a separator.
Here is an example:
Search a combination of fields:
/search.cgi?fields=name,summary,content,art_field1&keyword=anykeyword
You can also limit your search to a category (or several
categories as of version 1.32) by identifying those categories
by number and using a comma as a separator. For example:
/search.cgi?cat=4&keyword=anykeyword
/search.cgi?cat=1,3&keyword=anykeyword
Subcategories will be searched if Subcategory Indexing is enabled within the Setup Options/Server. If Subcategory Indexing is off, only the selected category will be searched.
/search.cgi?cat=4&search_subcats=0
/search.cgi?cat=1,3&search_subcats=1
