Hi everyone,

I'am having a question and can't find the right solution in the forum, altough I read many posts and tried many solutions.

So here we are:

In my website, I use the standard Search and AdvancedSearch on the whole site. And it works great.
But I have a part of my site with personal ads (like "i sell my car" etc). And I want two specific searches for that part:
Simple Search and Advancedsearch.

I created specific forms for each and get the right results.

As I use

action={"/content/search"|ezurl}

and

action={"/content/advancedsearch"|ezurl}

when I click on submit, I go to the standard search and advancedsearch pages:
/content/search?SearchText=...
or
/content/Advancedsearch?...

My problem is that, on the results pages, I want to display my specific searches instead of the standard searches.
I tried overrides in many many ways with no results.

Does anyone know if it is possible? And if so, how?

Thank you a lot.

Victor

I know there are lots of posts on the forum about search but none helped me.

Could anyone help me?

Thank you.

Hello Victor,

Don't know what is exactly the problem but if you want to override search and advancedsearch templates you copy them from standard design to your design and change them for your needs.

Thank you Ivo.

But do you know how to set matching conditions for doing that? Because I don't want to always override the searches templates.

Regards,

Victor

If you put search.tpl in design/your_design/templates/content/ folder you don't need to override it in ini, just need to clear override cache.

Thanks again for your quick answer Ivo.

It's not exactly what I'm looking for but, thank to you, I found an other solution.
