Hi,

Take a look at the Multi-section Searching post by Dave here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=61466#61466

Dave also includes an example code of a multi-search viewer to get started.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

>the Multi-Search.php file link is broken

Thanks for letting us know. The issue appears to be specific to Internet Explorer.

I tested in both Chrome and Firefox and was able to download the file.

Try using one of those browser to download for now.

Thanks!

thanks got it to work..

only issue now is that when I search a multi-worded phrases.. it displays pages that may have just one of those words..

for example..

I search "Medical Day Care"
(this phrase is only on one page)

but it displays ALL pages that have the words "Medical" "Day" "Care"

anyway to filter for this?

Sorry.. i realized that was a dumb question after I posted it..

I do have one last question regarding this..

I have a search box at the top of all of my pages.. how can I have it so when they enter a search term there.. it will search and direct them to my search page.

Hi,

Sure, what you can do is set the action property in your <form> at the top of your page to "search.php". Next, change the name of your textfield to "q". That way, when you submit a search from that form, it will be as if it had come from search.php.

Hope this helps

What would be causing the blank page to appear?

wierd this page is doing it to:
http://rbvhweb.rbvhlinwood.com/RBVH_CherryHill/services.php
