  • What I'm trying to achieve is similar to the issue raised here:
    http://forums.modx.com/thread/47821/revo-simplesearch-ids-parameter-not-working

    I have a parent resource (with id 47) on which I have the search form call:

    [[!SimpleSearchForm? &tpl=`DocSearchBOX` &landing=`50`]]

    50 is the search result resource id. The parent (47) has some child resources and the search is intended to be only about the child resources. Here is the call on the result page:

    [[!SimpleSearch &ids=`[[!GetIds? &ids=`c47`]]`]]


    (GetID is a snippet call. The snippet help get the ids of the child child resources.
    http://modx.com/extras/package/getids)

    Without any property to the [[!SimpleSearch]] call results show up (but only show content limited to the parent). With the property (or any other property for that matter I get no results (just blank).

    Please kindly advise.

      • As always, thanks Bruno.

        I tried this, I always get
        "There were no search results for the search "search". Please try using more general terms to get more results." Which really is some progression away from the blank page I got previously.

        I was expecting to show the resource title and content extract. And for the "There were no search results for the search "search"" I should be better to indicate the search term that was used rather than "search"

        Without
        &where=`{"parent":"47"}`
        &sisea.driver_class=`simplesearchdriverresourcescustom`
        &sisea.driver_db_specific=`0`

        OR
        &where=`{"parent":"47"}`
        I get results but they are limited to the parent resource (47) and the search result page (50), both of which I don't want to show in the search results. I want to search among the child resources of 47 only. [ed. note: ojchris last edited this post 10 years, 5 months ago.]

          do I understand you correctly, that you only want search in direct children of resource 47?

          I didn't try my driver directly with the simpleSearch - snippet but have it running inside a custom-snippet, but I think it should work together with the simpleSearch-snipptet.

          Will try that later.

            this is working for me. I also get the correct search-term in:

            4 Results found for "angular"

            or

            There were no search results for the search "angularjs". Please try using more general terms to get more results.


            what is the code of your DocSearchBOX?

            • Parent resource (with id 47) has child resources (unlimited number). I want the search to be restricted to looking amongst those child resources.

              Here is DocSearchBOX (this guy is a suspect):
              <form id="searchForm" action="[[~[[+landing:default=`[[*id]]`]]]]" method="[[+method:default=`get`]]">
              		        <input type="text"  id="searchbox" name="searchbox" class="tftextinput" placeholder="Enter document terms"  size="21" maxlength="120" onchange="revertBackWidth()" /><input type="submit" value="search" name="search" id="search" class="tfbutton" />
              		
              <input type="hidden" name="id" value="[[+landing:default=[[*id]]]]" />
              
              </form>


              Appreciate your patience.

                <input type="text"  id="searchbox" name="searchbox" class="tftextinput" placeholder="Enter document terms"  size="21" maxlength="120" onchange="revertBackWidth()" />
                <input type="submit" value="search" name="search" id="search" class="tfbutton" />


                you are allways searching for the word "search" here, because of '&search=search' in your form

                the name of your text-input should be 'search':
                <input type="text"  name="search"


                and the submit-button without a name or something different

                <input type="submit" value="Search" class="tfbutton" />

                    Hi, this is an old thread I know, but I've been using this script and it's been working perfectly up until upgrading Modx Cloud to PHP 7.1, and now it has broken (all I get is a blank search results page). The error log shows a message:

                    [2018-05-17 18:41:27] (ERROR @ /paas/cXXXX/www/core/model/modx/modparser.class.php : 540) Could not find snippet with name GetIds=1,c1,2,c2,3,c3,4,c4,5,c5,6,c6,24,25.

                    If I remove the request for the custom driver then Simple Search works.

                    I'm using Revo 2.6.3-pl on MODX Cloud. Is anyone able to offer a fix - I guess the customer driver need to be updated for PHP 7.1 but no idea where it's going wrong?

                      FYI I found a solution on another thread. The post here https://forums.modx.com/thread/96176/simplesearch-exclude-parameter-not-working by rainbowtiger worked so the custom driver isn't needed.
