    Have recently installed the AdvSearch (latest version) and it works well except that some features does not seem to work, such as the Highlight feature.
    Also when i try different search terms i get exacly same results, something is wrong that`s for sure.

    These are my calls:

    SearchForm page:
    [[!AdvSearchForm? 
&landing=`110` 
&addJQuery=`0` 
&searchIndex=`query`
]]


    Landing page:
    [[!AdvSearch? 
&addJQuery=`0` 
&perPage=`10` 
&withFields=`pagetitle,introtext,content,longtitle` 
&fields=`pagetitle,introtext,content,longtitle` 
&containerTpl=`AdvSearchResults` 
&tpl=`AdvSearchResult` 
&offsetIndex=`res` 
&hideMenu=`0` 
&highlightTag=`strong` 
&highlightClass=`advsea-highlight` 
&highlightResult=`1` 
&showExtract=`1`
]]


    I have also tried using the Zend framework but it throws a white page.

    Using:
    - MODx Revolution 2.2.0 pl2 traditional
    - PHP 5.3.9
    - MYSQL 5.5.20
    - Apache 2.2.14
    - CentOS 6 on a Virtual private server.
    - PHP Memory limit set to 64 MB

    Any help or advice are very welcome, all support is greatful.

    Regards,

          I managed to solve this myself, anyhow there should be more specific details on how to install advsearch. Thanks.

            I had a similar issue, its when the Zend library doesnt install properly - coroico advised me to upload the Zend library again. I did the whole library and then deleted the elements i DIDNT want - rather than just uploading the bits i DID want.

              Yeah the install instructions says you do not need the Zend library, but without that you cannot get proper search results or highlighting, anyhow i think coroico`s AdvSearch is great, infact i like it better than the old AjaxSearch that i used for a site a long time ago, hehe. Evolution was long time ago wink

                The instructions on the RTFM state you need to install the Zend library, but could be clearer - although the cheat sheet does give better instructions.

                Hes done a stellar job with with AdvSearch and AjaxSearch, hes done some rather fancy customisations for us with ajaxSearch as well.

                  I am having a problem to search the phrase with some of the mysql reserved keywords (example: in the train). I got the message as below:
                  "Search with "in" is invalid. Minimum number of characters allowed for a search term: 3"

                  I also tested it on the demo and it's also getting the same result. below is the test link:
                  http://www.revo.wangba.fr/same-page.html?id=9&asId=as0&search=in+the+train&sub=Search

                  I need help for the solution to filter the MYSQL reserved keywords for the search. can someone help me? thanks.

                    Simply adds &minChars=`2` inside your AdvSearch call snippet

                      I agree. Install Zend Minimal but the first release. Just copy files as it is written in:
