Attention

TYPO3 v7 has reached its end-of-life November 30th, 2018 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

SEARCHRESULT

Note

This content object has been deprecated in TYPO3 CMS 7.1. If you still use it for now, you need to install the extension "compatibility6". In the long run, you are advised to migrate to alternatives such as FLUIDTEMPLATE to customize the output of the content.

This object can be used to display search results. SEARCHRESULT only returns results from pages with of doktype "Standard" (1), "Advanced" (2) and "Not in menu" (5).

Search words are loaded into the register in a form ready for linking to pages.

The cObject to render the search results.

$cObj->data array is set to the resulting record from the search.

Please note, that all fields are named [table name]_[field name]. Thus the page title is in the field "pages_title".

Apart from this, these fields from the pages-table are also present:

uid

Property

Property

addExtUrlsAndShortCuts

boolean

Description

If set, then the doktypes 3 and 4 (External URLS and Shortcuts) are added to the doktypes being searched.

However at this point in time, no pages will be selected if they do not have at least one tt_content record on them! That is because the pages and tt_content (or other) table are joined. So there must at least be one occurrence of a tt_content element on an External URL / Shortcut page for them to show up.

Default

0

Property

languageField.[2nd table]

Data type

Description

Setting a field name to filter language on. This works like the "languageField" setting in ->select

[tsref:(cObject).SEARCHRESULT]

Example:

register:SWORD_PARAMS = '&sword_list[]=word1&sword_list[]=word2 .....'

See typolink for more information!

Notes:

"sword" and "scols" must be set in order for the search to be engaged.

var "sword": Search word(s).

var "scols": Search columns separated by ":". E.g.: pages.title:pages.keywords:tt_content.bodytext.

var "stype": The starting point of the search: false = current page, L-2 = page before currentPage, L-1 = current page, L0 = rootlevel, L1 = from first level, L2 = from second level.

var $GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS']['locationData']: If this is set, the search is done as was it from another page in the website given by the value of "locationData" here. See the description at the cObject "FORMS".

Only if the page locationData is pointing to, is inside the real rootLine of the site, the search will take this into account.

internal:

var "scount": If this is set this is used as the searchCount - the total rows in the search. This way we don't need to reconstruct this number!

var "spointer": This points to the start-record in the search.

LATER:

var "alldomains": boolean: If set the search will proceed into other domains.

var "allsites": boolean: If set the search will proceed into other sites (defined by the "root" setting of an active template).

var "depth": The search depth.

Search syntax

When you search, you can use three operator types:

  • AND: "+", "and" (UK), "og" (DK)

  • OR: "or" (UK), "eller" (DK)

  • NOT: "-", "not" (UK), "uden" (DK)

Default operator is AND. If you encapsulate words in "" they are searched for as a whole string. The search is case insensitive and matches parts of words also.

Examples:

  1. menu backend - will find pages with both 'menu' and 'backend'.

  2. "menu backend" - will find pages with the phrase "menu backend".

  3. menu or backend - will find pages with either 'menu' or 'backend'.

  4. menu or backend not content - will find pages with either 'menu' or 'backend' but not 'content'.

Queries to the examples

In this case "page content" is chosen as the fields to search. That includes tt_content.header, tt_content.bodytext and tt_content.imagecaption.

Prefixed to these queries is this:

SELECT pages.title AS pages_title,
  pages.subtitle AS pages_subtitle,
  pages.keywords AS pages_keywords,
  pages.description AS pages_description,
  pages.uid,
  tt_content.header AS tt_content_header,
  tt_content.bodytext AS tt_content_bodytext,
  tt_content.imagecaption AS tt_content_imagecaption
FROM pages, tt_content
WHERE(tt_content.pid=pages.uid)
AND (pages.uid IN (2,5,6,20,21,22,29,30,31,3,4,8,9,16,1)
  AND pages.doktype in (1,2,5)
  AND pages.no_search=0
  AND NOT tt_content.deleted
  AND NOT tt_content.hidden
  AND (tt_content.starttime<=985792797)
  AND (tt_content.endtime=0 OR tt_content.endtime>985792797)
  AND tt_content.fe_group IN (0,-1)
  AND NOT pages.deleted
  AND NOT pages.hidden
  AND (pages.starttime<=985792797)
  AND (pages.endtime=0 OR pages.endtime>985792797)
  AND pages.fe_group IN (0,-1)
) ...

The part "... pages.uid IN (2,5,6,20,21,22,29,30,31,3,4,8,9,16,1)... " is a list of pages-uid's to search. This list is based on the page-ids in the website-branch of the page tree and confines the search to that branch and not the whole page-table.

  1. ... AND (
          (tt_content.header LIKE '%menu%'
            OR tt_content.bodytext LIKE '%menu%'
            OR tt_content.imagecaption LIKE '%menu%'
          )
          AND (tt_content.header LIKE '%backend%'
            OR tt_content.bodytext LIKE '%backend%'
            OR tt_content.imagecaption LIKE '%backend%'
          )
        ) GROUP BY pages.uid
    
  2. ... AND (
          (tt_content.header LIKE '%menu backend%'
            OR tt_content.bodytext LIKE '%menu backend%'
            OR tt_content.imagecaption LIKE '%menu backend%'
          )
        ) GROUP BY pages.uid
    
  3. ... AND (
          (tt_content.header LIKE '%menu%'
            OR tt_content.bodytext LIKE '%menu%'
            OR tt_content.imagecaption LIKE '%menu%'
          )
          OR (tt_content.header LIKE '%backend%'
            OR tt_content.bodytext LIKE '%backend%'
            OR tt_content.imagecaption LIKE '%backend%'
          )
        ) GROUP BY pages.uid
    
  4. ... AND (
          (tt_content.header LIKE '%menu%'
            OR tt_content.bodytext LIKE '%menu%'
            OR tt_content.imagecaption LIKE '%menu%'
          )
          OR (tt_content.header LIKE '%backend%'
            OR tt_content.bodytext LIKE '%backend%'
            OR tt_content.imagecaption LIKE '%backend%'
          )
          AND NOT (tt_content.header LIKE '%content%'
            OR tt_content.bodytext LIKE '%content%'
            OR tt_content.imagecaption LIKE '%content%'
          )
        ) GROUP BY pages.uid
    

Notice that upper and lowercase do not matter. Also 'men' as search word will find 'men', 'menu', 'menus' etc.
