Suppose you want to insert a searchbox on all pages, but don't want to install additional extensions like "macina_searchbox", you can do it all by TS. :)

First create a page, and insert the indexed search plugin on that page, and make sure the search are working..

Then insert the code below in your TS setup, and change the value of the constant "plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID" to be the pageID of the page you just created.

Setting the "plugin.tx_indexedsearch.showAdvanced=1" will also display a link below the searchbox, which points to the Advanced searchform.

Place this in CONSTANTS:

plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID = 82
plugin.tx_indexedsearch.showAdvanced = 0

Place this in SETUP:

# --- SEARCHBOX OBJECT ----------------------------------
lib.searchbox = COA_INT
lib.searchbox {
  stdWrap.prefixComment = 2 | lib.searchbox
  10 = TEXT
  10.typolink.parameter = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID}
  10.typolink.returnLast = url
  10.wrap = <div id="indexedsearchbox"><form action="|" method="post" id="indexedsearch"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
  20 = COA
  20 {
    wrap = <tr> | </tr>
    10 = TEXT
    10.htmlSpecialChars = 1
    10.data = GPvar : tx_indexedsearch |sword
    10.wrap = <td><input name="tx_indexedsearch[sword]" value="|" class="searchbox-sword" type="text" /></td>
    20 = COA
    20 {
      wrap = <td align="right">&nbsp;|</td>
      10 = TEXT
      10.value = <input type="hidden" name="tx_indexedsearch[sections]" value="0" />
      20 = TEXT
      20.value = <input name="tx_indexedsearch[submit_button]" value="Search" type="hidden" />
      30 = TEXT
      30.value = <input name="search" src="fileadmin/templates/images/search.gif" value="Search" class="searchbox-button" type="image" />
    }
  }
  30 = COA
  30 {
    wrap = <tr>|</tr>
    10 = TEXT
    10.value = Advanced search »
    10.typolink.parameter = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID}
    10.typolink.additionalParams = &tx_indexedsearch[ext]=1
    10.wrap = <td align="right" colspan="2">|</td>
    if.isTrue = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.showAdvanced}
  }
  wrap = | </table></form></div>
}

How do you place the search box on each page if you are using templavoila?

Hello, the Link which is then generated is noch XHTML conform. Can somebody tell me how that works.

The generated HTML Code is like this:

…uche</span><form action="suche.html?&L=0" method="post" id="searchform" name=....

and the Ampersand is invalid.

Maybe someone have the same error.

Fantastic! This made my life a whole lot easier, one little COA and my whole website with all of its templates uses the searchfunction. Thank you!

Same thing slightly changed for tableless design. There is a div class="clearer" to clear any floated elements in the search form if you apply float. If you don't float anything, then you could remove that "clearer" div on the last line:

lib.searchbox = COA_INT
lib.searchbox {
stdWrap.prefixComment = 2 | lib.searchbox
10 = TEXT
10.typolink.parameter = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID}
10.typolink.returnLast = url
10.wrap = <div id="indexedsearchbox"><form action="|" method="post" id="indexedsearch">
20 = COA
20 {
10 = TEXT
10.data = GPvar : tx_indexedsearch |sword
10.wrap = <input name="tx_indexedsearch[sword]" value="|" class="searchbox-sword" type="text" />
20 = COA
20 {
10 = TEXT
10.value = <input type="hidden" name="tx_indexedsearch[sections]" value="0" />
20 = TEXT
20.value = <input name="tx_indexedsearch[submit_button]" value="Search" type="hidden" />
30 = TEXT
30.value = <input name="search" src="fileadmin/templates/images/search.gif" value="Search" class="searchbox-button" type="image" />
}
}
30 = COA
30 {
10 = TEXT
10.value = Advanced search »
10.typolink.parameter = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID}
10.typolink.additionalParams = &tx_indexedsearch[ext]=1
if.isTrue = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.showAdvanced}
}
wrap = |</form><div class="clearer">.</div></div>
}

Can't seem to get this one working - When I pess submit it just goes to the page with the search form on. But doesn't perform a search.

Any idea why?

I get the same result as Allan, 03-05-10 12:45:

I also don't get any search results on the page where I have set my

plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID

Thomas, 21-09-10 08:27:

It is missing a field for the stype and one for the locationData.
Setup below is working for me!


# --- SEARCHBOX OBJECT ----------------------------------
lib.searchBox = COA_INT
lib.searchBox {
stdWrap.prefixComment = 2 | lib.searchBox
10 = TEXT
10.typolink.parameter = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID}
10.typolink.no_cache = 1
10.typolink.returnLast = url
10.wrap = <form action="|" method="post" id="indexedsearch" name="mysearch" enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="return validateForm('mysearch','','','','')"><fieldset>
20 = COA
20 {
wrap = |
40 = TEXT
40.htmlSpecialChars = 1
40.data = GPvar : tx_indexedsearch |sword
40.wrap = <input name="sword" value="|" id="sword" class="searchbox-sword" type="text" />
20 = COA
20 {

30.value = <input name="submit" value="Suche" class="searchbox-button" type="submit" />
}
}
30 = COA
30 {

10 = TEXT
10.value = Advanced search »
10.typolink.parameter = {$plugin.tx_indexedsearch.searchUID}
10.typolink.additionalParams = &tx_indexedsearch[ext]=1
10.wrap = <p> | </p>
