@coroico,
I have found that exactly that AS only finds HTML in SRs when there are floating HTML elements with no close. Once they are tracked down it is corrected. The can be caused by comments though where sometimes the stipper gets caught on an open element. Don’t remember specific case but know that I had a problem on a site to be fixed by combing the code.

Hi, Im new to Modx, and am having a bit of difficulty with the AjaxSearch plugin.
I have a search page that includes an AjaxSearch form. I would like to also have a search box on every other page in left panel that when filled in posts the results on the search page.
Please can you advise me.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Guys,
I’ve got a Template variable field called search tags, where the user can enter any words that match the relevant product, delimited by comma. Works great apart from one sticking point.
For example, if you type in "fish" it brings back any product that has "fish" in the TV, but it also brings back any product that has the string of those four characters, so we end up getting Laurence fishbourne in there too. My php isn’t awesome, but is there anyway I can tell the search to delimit the search tags TV by spaces, or a comma or whatever? Or should I use a different TV format (would a check box style TV still just match strings, rather than whole words?)

@phool: It sounds as if you’re wanting to use the search in non-ajax mode and, as such, here’s what you’d do at minimum:
In your template, wherever you’d like the search form to be shown you’d use this call:
[!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearch=`0` &AS_showResults=`0` &AS_landing=`id#`!]
In your search results page, you’d put this call in your content area:
[!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearch=`0` &AS_showForm=`0`!]
coroico will be the authority on this but, I believe the only way would be to set the advanced search tag to "exactphrase"—that is, add this to your call on the results page:
&advSearch=`exactphrase`
------
Server: *nix, ModX Evo 1.0.4, Apache 2.x, PHP 5.x, Mysql 5.x.
I’m using the latest version of AS and I am using the highlight plugin as well.
I have a page that is hidden from the menu and not searchable but it’s still showing up in the ajax search ever using &hidemenu=`0`
What else am I missing from the snippet to not search hidden pages?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply, but &advSearch=`exactphrase` doesn’t seem to work, it still returns fishbourne if I enter fish. I think I read that TV’s aren’t split into separate words, (can’t find or remember where I read it though), and are just dealt with as one long string, so is there another field I could use that would separate, or, like I mentioned before, how would I go about telling it to delimit my TV field by a comma. Cheers.
