Using WHERE clause with Search

Can anybody tell me if it's possible to specify an additional WHERE clause in the view code if the code is being used to display search results?

Currently, I can get the search working, but as soon as I add a WHERE clause, that's the only thing that seems to be used when displaying the results.

Thanks - Paul.

Hi Paul,

The where clause can limit the results of a search in many ways, like limiting the search results to only those records where a particular field starts with, or contains particular values. Say, when you'd only want to search within a particular category of items.

You might find the explanations on this and other topics in my CMSB Cookbook helpful.

Best,

Hi Paul,

Both the where and the search code should both apply. Which version of CMSB are you using?

Thanks Dave, I'm using v1.26.

I'll try again, I expect I've made some mistake.
