Please help with advanced search problem

redwoodbev — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 01:51:56 GMT

Hi again, I really am not being lazy. I have searched all through the forums and I did find a solution, but it didn't work in my site.

Has anyone fixed the advanced search so it searches by category when all of the other search boxes are empty? I would really appreciate any guidance on this one. Thanks.

Hi again. I have searched through the forums and found one solution (the one in the message prior to this), but I must be doing something wrong. The fix doesn't appear to work for me.

If your advanced search by category is working would someone please give me a hint or a directionn to start troubleshooting? Thanks, Bev

Advanced Search... Category doesn't work

Hi. On the advanced search everything works but the "category" search. If I select any category from the dropdown box I get results on the Search.aspx page with all ads. I found a post that looked like it might fix this...

ElseIf

(Not (advParameters Is Nothing) AndAlso Not (advParameters.SearchTerm.Equals(String.Empty))) Then

' carry over just search term as regular search in category

AdvancedSearch.ImportProperties(advParameters)

' fix category behavior -- THIS IS NEW LINE

SearchTermTextBox.Text = advParameters.SearchTerm

SetCurrentCategory(AdvancedSearch.CategoryId) ....I tried adding the new line, but no change in results.

Does anyone have an idea where else I might look for the problem, or any advice? Thanks, Bev
