Site Search Module Re-Direct

Hi guys,
Wondering if there is a way of adding a 're-direct' code to the Site Search Module HTML code, so that people can enter info in the site search box, and rather than keeping them on the same page, it takes them to a new page.
Thanks,
Aaron

Nicole, You was right in the first place but you you said &PageID= for the url when in actual fact it is just ID.
So, Aaron you do as Nicole said first (because it is easier) but use ID instead of PageID so..
/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=3510&ID=/yoursubfolder/custompage
& is the HTML entitity for & and is better valid markup

How to make site search module work?

Hi guys
I am working on a sample site http://webmar.businesscatalyst.com/index.
I had insert a site search module but anyhow when i search for any query and click the Go button, it will go the searchresult page but nothing get displayed.
I do had placed a {module_searchresults} in the page content area of searchresult page.
How I populate by search result page?
Thanks
Andy

Andy make sure you index (re-index)your site
Modules > Site Search > Re- Index button
If site is a sample site ( demo mode ) I am not sure if it will index with new changes to the way demo sites works. Give it a try it may be ok internally, but wont index with S E unless live site
Good to re-index if made changes or added content

SEO friendly site search urls

We have the site search module set up but it returns unfriendly looking urls for all the results despite us having SEO friendly urls for each catalogue and product. Is there some way to rectify this?

I found this question while trying to solve a somewhat related question.
We needed the urls for the pages to be clean when they arrive at the page in order to drive some specific scripting.
Basically:
page loads
script checks the page's url
if the path matches a certain parameters, perform a certain functions
The issue we were running into, was that when people came on to a page from the search results page
the url would look like this:
http://www.website.com/Default.aspx?PageID=45247074&A=SearchResult&SearchID=3759787&ObjectID=35247074&ObjectType=1
which prevented the scripting from working correctly.
The work around we came up with was using the {module_breadcrumbs,} module in a hidden span on the page and having our script key off of that.
It certainly wouldn't help any SEO issues but if you were solely looking to make the page display it's human friendly url, that module and some relatively simple JS would work.

How do I get PDFs to appear in the site search results?

I have read that the BC site seach will show PDF files in its results - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5077569.
I have added a PDF via the media dowloads and added the litterate to a test page via the module {module_literature,a,}. I then reindexed the site, however when I search for something I do not get any results.
The site search is set up to search "Entire Website (including Secure Zone)",
Any ideas why this doesn't work?
Thanks
Dean

Hi Dean
PM me the site url and few details as how you are trying to search as it should work fine.
You can create media downloads and then in site search if you use keywords such as download name then it should return the result with links corresponding to media items.

How Do I Add A Site Search Box?

I just upgraded my BC subscription to webMarketing and I am wanting to add a site search box to my site but I am having troubles with the directions found on the Adobe Website: Business Catalyst Help | Add a site search box.
My first issue is a simple clarification with item #4 under "Create a page to display the search results"
4. In the editor, enter {module_searchresults} where you want the results to appear on the page. What exactly is the editor? LOL is that just the Adobe Muse page and I use the text tool and create a box with "{module_searchresults}" in it?
My next, more critical issue is:
Add a search box to a template
Open the template in editing mode by selecting Site Manager > Page Templates, and choosing the template from the list of templates. My BC Admin page has "Site Manager" on the left - but when I click it - it only shows "Web Forms" and "System E-mails" I have no option for "Page Templates".
So how do I get "Page Templates" to show up. I'm pretty sure my "webMarketing" subscription allows for a site search box...maybe I am mistaken.
Thanks for any help!

The editor is that of the WYSIWYG editor in the BC admin itself.
The important thing to know is Muse is NOT BC, it is not the only thing you use to make a BC site, far from it. IT is a really basic tool to build basic sites. The instructions you will find on the BC docs will never reference the way to do it for Muse, just BC, or you can use your own code editor.
So you need to go login to your website admin and then you will find the pages, templates etc.

Site search software on mac question

maybe off topic but i thought someone on here may be able to help me. I have a site i designed that is a midzize company site. They want to add a site search to it. I have no idea how to start doing this. My question is there a software that does this on the MAC? I can find several that preform on Windows but have yet to find one for the MAC. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

My question is there a software that does this on the MAC.
First of all a MAC is not the same thing as a Mac
I thought the search function on a website was platform indepentant as it used a cgi script of somekind.

Adding Site Search in Menu Bar

Hi there guys, if someone could point me to a tutorial on how to add a site search function to the menu bar (see pic) - that would be awesome...
I understand I can use a tag to display the results.
Thanks in advance!!!
Cheers

Okay here is what 'I do' ...
First create a div within your menu bar to old the search form and in your CSS float it right.
Create the search ..
Site Manger --> Site Search
Follow instructions to create the search form and select what you specifically want search.
Okay creating the search is done
Now I create a content holder (optional - but I do it that way in case I want to easily add the search elsewhere)
Open the new Content Holder in the admin (or dreamweaver)
Click on the Add Modules to page button
Select Search from the new panel iin the admin or from the BC Panel in DW
Select Search Form
Select the search form you want to use
Click Insert
This also adds the search results tag as well. Just delete the serach results tag
Now insert this content holder into the div you created in the nav bar.
Done.

Adding another search module

Hello,
I would like to use http://www.helpuu.com/ search engine directly from Firefox (as a search module - search box in upper right corner of the browser). Is it possible?
Thanks.

Install the "Add to Search bar" extension then you can right-click within the search area on that page and choose "'''Add to Search Bar...'''".
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar/
As an alternative to having a lot of search engines, you can generate a bookmark and a keyword using Firefox built-in facilities, no extension involved. Right-click with the search area on that page and choose "'''Add a Keyword for this Search'''" so if you created a keyword of "helpuu" you would simply type the following into the location bar:
:'''helpuu''' firefox keyword shortcuts
Because I use keyword shortcuts a lot, I have prevented default external searching from the location bar, and my keyword shortcuts include a colon(":") so I might use something like "helpuu:" or just "uu:" -- keyword shortcuts should be short, easy to type and most important easy to remember -- such as abbreviations. All of mine have the keyword at the beginning of the the bookmark title are in for the most part in one folder :"K" and are sorted on title so if I forget one I can find it easily from the folder for from an AwesomeBar search (internal search before hitting Enter at the location bar).

Search Module for adaptive layout

Hi BC Community,
I am creating an adaptive layout site for my client (so, desktop/tablet/mobile versions). I am using the search module in the site design, which is working quite well, however, on the desktop site, it is showing pages from the mobile and tablet sites in the search results.
Does anyone have a work around to solve this issue? For the desktop search results, I just want it to show desktop pages, same goes for tablet and mobile.
Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Hi,
ASE 12 is very old and since no Eng support maybe decision made to not use datetime. However, you can certainly request feature - if you are able to create incident we can create Feature and then incident can be used for tracking purposes, etc.
If unable to create incident please provide details:
ASE version (exact with select @@version)
SDK version being used
code sample to demonstrate problem and the output from such a test
If you used TDS please provide that trace as well if possible
Cheers,
-Paul

BC Search Module troubleshoot

BC search module does not format within my div tag for search box.

Thank You

Hi there,
Not much information there, quite confusing.
There is no tag_content tag.
I am guessing your asking how to make a site search and show the results?

When I open a new tab it does not bring up my homepage. It brings up another sites search engine page.

When I click on the new tab button, a small cross, it opens the new tab, but displays another sites search page, not my homepage. I cannot find where to tell it to open my homepage on all new tabs that are opened from the tab bar.

The basic Firefox build has always opened a blank page when you open a new tab.
Maybe some add-on you installed modified that feature of Firefox which now opens all tabs in a different page. Here's what you will need to do.
Open Firefox -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. The tabs will now be opening in a blank page. You can Enable the add-ons again and check if its working properly.

How to I get my Muse site to have a "Direct Link" to a section on my website.

How to I get my Muse site to have a "Direct Link" to a section on my website. For example, if I am under the busniesscatayst I can direct some to an exact page in my site through an email or Facebook post: http://biteonfishing.businesscatalyst.com/buy-now.html However, I can not perform the function when I am not including the Business Catalyst www.BiteOnFishing.com I want to make so I can send people to the link using www.BiteOnFishing.com/buy-now.html. Any advice is much appreciated.

You need to point your domain name DNS to the Business Catalyst server and then set up the domain name in the Business Catalyst site admin.

RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
IT DOESN'T WORK
I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

Hi Kvoter,
What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
*''' it should be able to do that'''
* my firefox does that
I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
* the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
*the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.

How to remove default search button in search module

I am a neophyte with code and css and normally work with Muse. But I am currently trying to customize the appearance of the search module so that it works with the website it will be serving. I have accomplished a large part of what I've been attempting, but have hit a snag in removing the default search button (CAT_Search). I've placed the image I want to use no problem, but it is contained in some weird gray beveled box with the original 'Search' text overlapping my image.
I have been making the rounds of tech support, tutorials, and every documented article on the search module and can find nothing that address this specific issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am enclosing the what I've done so far below.
Thanks!

Hi Ramandeep Nanda,
Thanks for the reply.
I followed a slightly different approach than the one mentioned in your post.
I have not used any client side javascript attributes.I got the inputListOfValues Component from the launch listener event ( launchPopupEvent.getComponent() ) and in the launch listener i am setting richQuery.setModeChangeVisible(false);
It is hiding the button now but only for the first invocation of the search dialog, it is not working.
More specifically, for the first invocation of the search dialog, Iterator facetNames = inputListOfValues.getFacetNames(); is not returning the child components and hence the button is not being hidden.
Any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks,
Vikas
