Search results only on title problem [SOLVED]

Hi,

hope you can help. Searching returns nothing besides results from the title in category view.

- I am using version 1.5.3c stable (r354)
- Fields are all searchable
- Items have not been copied
- Flexi search plugin is enabled, system content search is disabled
- I can see all the content in db table #__flexicontent_items_ext for which I am searching
- Strangely I cannot see the last item ID in table #-#__flexicontent_items_versions, although this item has been modified and is indexed in search table

Any ideas...? Thanks for all suggestions.

Regards,

Frank

Ok now I am absolutely baffled. I have DISABLED ALL SEARCH PLUGINS (Flexicontent, Content, Weblinks, Contacts, Categories, Sections, Newsfeeds) and guess what?

After cleaning all admin cache, site cache, browser cache etc, the Search Box at category view is still working!!!

It seems something else than the plugins is handling the searching and results...

Any suggestions now?

I have the exact same problem on the most recent version of flexi content, I can search for anything and it just shows me every single article in the category.

I've noticed this component does not work well with any sef component other than the joomla default which is a huge problem. I believe this is what is causing the problem as I have tested it with joom sef basic and ace sef free and with both the flexicontent has problems. The same has been reported for sh404sef from others.

Other than this the navigation you see to the right of the search doesn't work either, where it gives you the numbers and letters to quick jump to articles beginning with that number or letter, it just generates a link to your site that ends in # so if my site was flexicontent.com when I'd click on a to see articles with a the link it generates is flexicontent.com/# All that this does is redirects users to the home page and kicks them out of category view.

This happens with any SEF extension I tested, I can't use sef with flexicontent which is a huge problem.

Thank you for replying but that's not my problem, my problem is the search doesn't work at all, I don't need the up and down arrows to filter them like that.

If I want to use flexicontent I cant' use joom sef, ace sef, sh404sef, or any sef component other than joomlas core sef because flexicontents search and alpha index will not work with them.

If I type in anything in the search box, no matter what I type even if it's aldkfjas;ldfkjasdflk it'll just show all the articles again (in category view) if I try clicking on a number or letter in the part that's supposed to let you see articles that start with a letter or number it'll boot me out to the home page because it generates an invalid link.

I made a post about this here which describes it in full detail and also points out where the problem is in the php file.

Ok, seems like a bigger problem than just search.

BUT, if you scroll down a little in the post, you'll see a simple script by collacocca which implements an 'instant' searchbox for your current view (category_items) which works very good. Might be all you need, check it out.

That would work, but I intend to have thousands of articles within flexicontent, I can't display them all on one page which I'm guessing that mod would do?

I'm not sure what to do I've tried a few things to no avail, so I guess the only thing to do at this point is to remove that alpha index thing and the search box entirely. The only thing that sucks about that is once an article gets too old there is no way of accessing it ever again.

Weird too ace sef even has a flexicontent plugin but it doesn't fix the issue, is there any way to make a url that lists the items starting with a certain letter? Perhaps that would work?

This thread was marked solved before it was solved, I've found the way to solve it if you're using acesef or joomsef after 2 weeks of playing around

however i forget what the original code looks like, but if you want flexicontent to work with ace sef and joom sef this is the code you must have in category_alpha_content:

line 27 and 28
line 39 and 40

I completely got rid of the code in the first 2 lines for the letters for some reason it's wrote completely different than the way it does numbers, so I copied the numbers code and replaced the letters code with it, and then I added the rather than as when you use a link like computer-gaming-news?letter=e it will work but computer-gaming-news&letter=e will not work

IF anyone is using acesef or joomsef this is the fix
