Hi Germi,

My presumption is that if we search for "abb", we should find it in any string that has it as substring; regardless of it's position in the string and context. For multiple words as search string, I would guess an intersection of searches for individual words would do, of course with an efficient algorithm to do it. And to take it even one notch higher agrep style search would help bad typers like me ) But these could be added search options. I don't have a specific requirement from the client, but I suspected this might come up sometime.

Settings of search from the menu item 2 Years, 2 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi Germi,

For setting a menu option to search from component capabilities there are four possibilities: Default Layout, Detailed Layout, Grid Layout, Songs Layout. The first three generate the same form with all albums fond.
Do I need to set anything to make these different. I played with some parameters in the settings, but didn't see any difference. Can we set the search parameters as part of menu item so when the page is accessed the search result reflects that filter. Thanks in advance.

dont know if I totally understand what you mean...

the first three are for albums. the same albums, but showing different views. usually, you pick up the same you use for artists (detailed , in my case)

Hi Germi,

There doesn’t seem to be any difference in the format for all three, they all showing detail for albums. Currently I have the menu item type set to search:

Code:
option=com_muscol&view=search


When we go to the page it has the search bar, search form, and automatically searches for all albums. Now I have couple of more questions.

1) Can we turn off the auto search as we go to the page and just show
the form and no results
2) Can we set the search to be for something else than the albums
3) Is there a search form module that I can use instead? How did you
do your demo?

Thanks much in advance.

1) well you'll need some code for that... that was precisely changed on version 2 because most of the people didnt like it to show a page with no results...

2)... like what? only two searches are possible: albums or songs. what you want to search?

3) yes there's a search module for version 2:www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/downloads/d...ction-2.html?lang=en
(but we are not using it on our site!

Thanks Germi,

I was thinking about partial searches like albums that start with some specific string or artists that their names start with some specific string or character. But you are right, it's probably better to just display all the list since it's paged and only a small set is display at one time. But we seem to not be able to do a partial search by putting for example C* in the search input form and get all albums that start with C. Unless we need to do something specific?

Thanks for link to the module. You are right, I probably don't need it, but I play with it if I get a chance.

Thanks again.
