results simple search

How can I specify the result of the simple search

Example:

my first try in simple search this is the output

Search Results

There were no search results for the search "acid". Please try using more general terms to get more results.
Results (513)

1. 20040437

2. 20040438

I want it like this

Search Results

There were no search results for the search "acid". Please try using more general terms to get more results.
Results (513)

(brand_name here)
content:
category:
date publish

(another brand_name)
content:
category:
date publish:


Is it possible?

thanks!

have you tried to change the content and structure of the simplesearch TPL?

default is:


You can use the following for the published on:

I read it but I dont know where to start or what part is going to be change?

I'm confused by your question -- "can I specify the result of the simple search?" -- do you want to change the format? Or the actual result?

If you want to change the format, you need to specify a &tpl argument in your Snippet call, e.g. create a Chunk named "myChunk"



And then reference it in your Snippet call:



That's just an example. The other arguments available are here: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/SimpleSearch.SimpleSearch

But without knowing how you've structured your data, it's impossible to give you a specific answer. Your example there has "category" and "brand_name" -- are you making TVs for those? Or are you structuring your pages so the parent folder is a category? There are many different ways you could do this.

It doesn't look like it provides a count of how many records were matched in the search -- that would take a separate database query, so I can understand why it's omitted.

Bottom line is that searching is subtly complicated, and unless you have a really good reason for it, it's much easier to leave it to Google. (Usually people ignore that advice, then waste many hours of their lives, then often they come back to Google... that's just my observation).

Im sorry if I confused you with my question

I want to change the result it self

when I do a search using simple search with posthook

it give me a result of

1.(brand_name)
2.(another brand_name)
3.(also another brand_name)

I want it to be more detailed
add more data that support the results coming from my database

As of right now you only get

1. 20040437

2. 20040438

right?

That is because the chunk that is being used to format your search results is:



I suggest you make a chunk called "myspecialsearchresults" or however you want to call it...

Edit the code to match the output of a single result:



You can use whatever html formatting you like...

then on your search results page put the following:

ok thank you very much I will surely try this thing

:D

You changed this with a post hook? Then you need to clarify what you did even more because now you've modified the default behavior.
