Search Form - narrowing search Can't Post

Hi - I am trying to do a name search a certain category. I only want to return results for art_field1 value Draper Fisher Jurvetson. The code below is returning all results.

Thanks,


Wendy

The code is:



<form id="portfolioform3" action="$settings.searchUrl$" method="post" name=""portfolioform3">
<input type="hidden" name="perpage" value="30" />

<input type="hidden" name="keywordSearchFields" value="art_field1" />
<input type="hidden" name="keyword" value="Draper Fisher Jurvetson" />

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="searchEngine/search_resultsDFJ.html" />
<h2>Select Draper Fisher Jurvetson Team</h2>
<table>
<tr>

<td><label for="teamindustry">Name</label></td><td><input type="text" name="keyword" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="teamindustry">Title</label> </td>
<td><select id="teamindustry" name="categoryNum" size="1">
<option value="">All</option>
<option value="1">Managing Director/Partner</option>
<option value="19">Director</option>
<option value="22">Venture Partner</option>
<option value="53">Principal</option>
<option value="20">Associate</option>
<option value="21">Analyst</option>
</select> </td>
</tr>


<tr>
<td colspan="2"><input class="img" type="image" name="input" value="search" src="/images/buttons/button_select.jpg" /> </td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>

Hi Wendy,

In Article Manager, you can only have one "keyword" form item at a time. Because you have both a hidden form field and a regular text field set up for this, all results are being returned because Article Manager is disregarding the hidden keyword value. Unfortunately there isn't really a way around this limitation.

Let us know if you need anything else. Smile

Thanks Jake. If I wanted to find a keyword name and title (a category in the dropdown) category within category 29, how would I set that up? Remove:

<input type="hidden" name="keywordSearchFields" value="art_field1" />
<input type="hidden" name="keyword" value="Draper Fisher Jurvetson" />



and put in <input type="hidden" name="catNum" value="29" />

Hi wendy,

I'm not entirely sure what you're after, but if you remove the two lines of code you mentioned, the keyword restriction for that article would be dropped. Adding in the hidden category input tag would restrict all results to that specified category only. If you left your regular keyword search field in place, it would do a keyword search within all articles in category 29.

I hope that helps!
