Advanced Search Menu in Joomla
March 17, 2011, 11:32:30 am
I have found older posts about Advanced Search in that there used to a be a check box to make the SQL Search Query By "Or" instead of by "And".

I was just wondering how difficult would it be to create and Advanced Search Menu item on the Menu such As "Advanced Search ("Or") and actually have it search by Or for any fields including custom fields that match the search instead of by And.

Short of that, how can I make my Advanced Searches by Or?

Thanks!

This was the only thing I could find on this.

Should not be too hard to add a form element to the search form for global and/or. I suspect this is a 3-7 hour project

However a lot of the requests have been for even lower level granular control, so might be good to take this to the next step and offer a choice for each tab or grouping of elements

ping us on IRC if u need help gettin started

Hi Lobo,

How much for the 7 hours to just get the 2 Advanced Search Options
Advanced Search (And - all fields)
Advanced Search (Or - all fields)

I'll run it by my client to see if they will pay for it.

Thanks!

Dallas

We'll probably use all the 7 hours (and more) by the time we are done with implementing, documenting and writing tests for the issue.

I'll create an MIH for this next week and post the link here. Note that this is for Advanced Search only and not for any other searches
