The SEARCH object

[alex4orly]

Not clear on how to use this object?
I assume it is intended to give visitors a way to find a page / pages for a certain topic / keywords...

But how?

Maybe this will be helpful?

I looked at the tutorial, looks like it will do the trick

Thanks again

OK, I implemented this function and have 2 questions:

1) It seems the search script only searches in my HTML pages, but I have documents in PDF format embeded into an iFrame, it seems those are ignored in the search. Is there a way to include them?

2) If you try searching for a word, say "members" , and I click on the result, it brings up the page itself, but the page is embeded in an iFrame which doesn't show...

Enter in the search field CLA which is a word on the front page, then click the result

What can I do about it?

[Pablo]

1. The script cannot search in PDFs. There is no way to include external content.
2. You can set the target of the link in the property inspector. Did you try _'self'?

[alex4orly]

1) understand
2) Where can I set that?

[Pablo]

Where can I set that?

In the property inspector.

[alex4orly]

In the "Results" selection drop down? There is no such option

Sorry, Can't find such a dialog...
The Search input field has the following tabs : General, Style, Box Shadow, Padding
Obviously, I should look elswehere.... where?

[Pablo]

OK, Found it and the result is OK, But

Please visit http://www.beleuramyhome.org.au/updir/home.html#
On the front page, you can see the word NDIS, try entering it into the search box, click - it does not find it...

Why?

[Pablo]

Maybe the search index is configured to use text objects only?

[alex4orly]

It is, what else can I add for it to include the blog?

[Pablo]

To include all objects, select 'Page Content'
