I have this as a basic starting point. Which does the basic search of the 2
fields title and description.
If I search for 1 word it works. If I use some, word, other it returns
nothing.
How can I search other tables for related data (TAGS)
CONTROLLER:
function search()
{
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$searchstr = $this->data['Post']['search'];
$this->set('searchstring', $this->data['Post']['search']);
$conditions = array(
'conditions' => array(
'or' => array(
"Post.title LIKE" => "%$searchstr%",
"Post.description LIKE" => "%$searchstr%"
)
)
);
$this->set('posts', $this->Post->find('all', $conditions));
}
}
VIEW:
<?php foreach ($posts as $post): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $post['Post']['id']; ?></td>
<td>
<?php echo
$html->link($post['Post']['title'],'/posts/view/'.$post['Post']['id']);?>
</td>
<td><?php echo $post['Post']['created']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
SEARCH FORM on what ever page you want to search from:
<?php
echo $form->create('Post',array('action' => 'search'));
echo $form->input('Post.search');
echo $form->end('Submit');
?>
