Hi
I know that for earlier softwares like Realty Manager, there was a search.php file. Is there a similar file for CMSB?
Thanks

Hi Andreas
There isn't a specific code generator for search pages and what you do instead is code them by hand.
What you do first is simple build a static HTML page that has your search form on it.
Does that make sense? Do you know how to create a simple HTML page that has a form on it?
Let me know any questions or feedback.
Thanks!

Hi Ross
I have used the following syntax in the list page but it does not respond. Probably something is missing.
<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input type="text" name="title" value="" size=100>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search">
</form>
Kind regards

Hi Andreas,
At the top of your page in the // load records make sure you have allowSearch set to true
'allowSearch' => true,
Next, you will probably be searching for keyword instead of a complete match so you need to add _keyword to your field you are searching.
Example: title_keyword
<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input type="text" name="title_keyword" value="" size=100>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search">
</form>
Here is some reference for all the things you can do with searches:
