Hello,
I am unable to restrict my searching using exclude and restrict on multiple
search forms.
After many hours of reading and searching I find I'm stumped and need your
help.
Of all the archives I've been through I find mention of an htsearch
Exclude/ Restrict / RegEx problem only in very old messages. Nothing recent.
Version 3.1.2 running in an Earthlink shared hosting environment.
Entire site indexed in one common database.
Only concerned with a sub-directory structure of the site with directories of:
/journal/* (a variety of subdirectories)
Including these specific directories:
/journal/abstracts
/journal/abstracts.97
/journal/abstract98
/journal/abstracts.99
I'd like one search form to only search the abstracts:
restrict="abstracts" (I think I have this working OK. Need more testing to
verify)
I'd like another search form to search only the journal:
exclude="abstracts" restrict="journal"
(i.e. include only urls that have the string "journal" in them, but exclude
any url with the string "journal/abstra" in them.
I cannot get this to work. Can it be done? Are they simple text strings or
are they Regular Expressions? If RE's, which syntax? Are exclude and
restrict mutually exclusive?
I don't have the expertise to understand the guts of the htsearch code, but
from the user documentation it looks like this should work.
Thanks for any guidance or suggestions.
Respectfully,
Paul Happ
