I have a client site that uses multiple single records fields as well multiple multi-record fields.

We need to the ability to have a single search field on the site that searches basically all fields in the CMS (obviously we don't care about some...but any upload and content fields need to be searched).  This needs to search across all the sections in the CMS.

Has anyone done this?

Hi Kevin, 

CMS Builder has a multisearch function that sounds ideal for this. It allows you to search across multiple sections, and select which fields you wish to search in each section.

This post has some example code attached to it that should get you started:

and this post explains some of the options you can use in it:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
