Hello

you can try to use multi-categories view with text search,

Try:
- create a menu item to link to multi-category view, selecting none categories (aka ALL)
(also you may enable field filters in it)

- you can create a simple form module and

1. set as action of the form the above menu URL
add a text input with field name 'filter'
e.g.

Code:

<form action="...">
Search: <input type="text" name="filter"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Thanks.

Just created the menu item and then added the searchword query variable, but nothing changed.

So, the url www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_flex...ategory&layout=mcats gives the same results as www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_flex...s&searchword=vinegar , ie all the items.

Did you mean perhaps adding &filter=searchword...

Well... while I was writing this I just saw that you edited your post and, in fact, the query variable should be filter.

This solution is only to prevent having duplicate results in the default Portuguese language, right?
Bu then I would also loose autocomplete for it and highlighting in the search results page.

I guess it might be simpler to have a hack to prevent both autocomplete in alternative languages and duplicate search results in the default language, don't you think so?

I already solved how to disable autocomplete to happen in alternative languages when using Falang.
I was thinking of having a different menu and module, but I guess the following is more easy, clean and can avoid future similar issues from other users:

So, instead of only:

Code:

$search_autocomplete = $params->get( 'search_autocomplete', 1 );

This should solve it:

Code:

$search_autocomplete =  ($params->get('flexi_fish') && flexicontent_html::getUserCurrentLang() != substr(flexicontent_html::getSiteDefaultLang(),0,2) )  ?
    0  :
    $params->get( 'search_autocomplete', 1 )  ;

If you confirm this, I can create a PR and insert this code in the module and component (and maybe elsewhere?).

Just solved also the duplicate results with a solution you might also consider to integrate, should it be fit for other duplicate situations (when people choose more than one search plugin at the same time).

So, in the function getData, file "components/com_flexicontent/models/search.php", I changed from this:

Code:

                        $rows = array();
                        foreach($results AS $result) {
                                $rows = array_merge( (array) $rows, (array) $result);
                        }

To this:

Code:

                        $slugs = array();
                        $rows = $results[0];
                        foreach($rows as $row) {
                                $slugs[] = $row->slug;
                        }
                        for($i = 1, $ti = count($results); $i < $ti; $i++) {
                                $result = $results[$i];
                                for($j = 0, $tj = count($result); $j < $tj; $j++) {
                                        if(!in_array($result[$j]->slug, $slugs)) {
                                                $rows[] = $result[$j];
                                                $slugs[] = $result[$j]->slug;
                                        }
                                }
                        }

Don't know if this can mess with other possibilities, but it is working okay for me.
Again, if you wish I can submit a PR with this code.
