Place this component on your page to display search results.
Create a search form that sends a query to your search page:
<form action="{{ 'search' | page }}" method="get">
<input name="q" type="text" placeholder="What are you looking for?" autocomplete="off">
<button type="submit">Search</button>
</form>Important: Use the q parameter to send the user's query.
Create a page to display your search results. Add the searchResults component to it.
Use the searchResults.query parameter to display the user's search query.
title = "Search results"
url = "/search"
...
[searchResults]
resultsPerPage = 10
showProviderBadge = 1
noResultsMessage = "Your search did not return any results."
visitPageMessage = "Visit page"
==
<h2>Search results for {{ searchResults.query }}</h2>
{% component 'searchResults' %}.ss-result {
margin-bottom: 2em;
}
.ss-result__aside {
float: right;
margin-left: .5em;
}
.ss-result__title {
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: .5em;
}
.ss-result__badge {
font-size: .7em;
padding: .2em .5em;
border-radius: 4px;
margin-left: .75em;
background: #eee;
display: inline-block;
}
.ss-result__text {
margin-bottom: .5em;
}
.ss-result__url {
}The following properties are available to change the component's behaviour.
How many results to display on one page.
The search works by querying multiple providers (Pages, Blog, or other). If this option is enabled each search result is marked with a badge to show which provider returned the result.
This is useful if your site has many different entities (ex. teams, employees, pages, blog entries).
This message is shown if there are no results returned.
A link is placed below each search result. Use this property to change that link's text.
To return search results for you own custom plugin, register an event listener for the offline.sitesearch.query
event in your plugin's boot method.
Return an array containing a provider string and results array. Each result must provide at least a title key.
public function boot()
{
\Event::listen('offline.sitesearch.query', function ($query) {
// Search your plugin's contents
$items = YourCustomDocumentModel::where('title', 'like', "%${query}%")
->orWhere('content', 'like', "%${query}%")
->get();
// Now build a results array
$results = $items->map(function ($item) use ($query) {
// If the query is found in the title, set a relevance of 2
$relevance = mb_stripos($item->title, $query) !== false ? 2 : 1;
return [
'title' => $item->title,
'text' => $item->content,
'url' => '/document/' . $item->slug,
'thumb' => $item->images->first(), // Instance of System\Models\File
'relevance' => $relevance, // higher relevance results in a higher
// position in the results listing
// 'meta' => 'data', // optional, any other information you want
// to associate with this result
];
});
return [
'provider' => 'Document', // The badge to display for this result
'results' => $results,
];
});
}That's it!
You can manage all of this plugin's settings in the October CMS backend.
No special configuration is required.
Make sure you select your CMS page with the blogPost component as the blog post page in the backend settings.
You can access a post's published_at date in your search results via {{ result.meta }}.
Make sure you set the Url of product detail page setting to point to the right url. Only specify the fixed part of
the URL: /product. If your products are located under /product/:slug the default value is okay.
Make sure you set the Url of product detail page setting to point to the right url. Only specify the fixed part of
the URL: /product. If your products are located under /product/:slug the default value is okay.
You can access an article's price in your search results via {{ result.meta }}.
Make sure you set the News post page setting to point to the right url. Only specify the fixed part of
the URL: /news/post. If your products are located under /news/post/:slug the default value is okay.
Make sure you set the Url of blog post page setting to point to the right url. Only specify the fixed part of
the URL: /blog. If your posts are located under /blog/:category/:slug the default value is okay.
Make sure you set the Url of portfolio detail page setting to point to the right url. Only specify the fixed part of
the URL: /portfolio/project. If your detail page is located under /portfolio/project/:slug the default value is okay.
Make sure you set the Url of brand detail page setting to point to the right URL. Only specify the fixed part of the URL: /brand. If your brand detail page is located under /brand/:slug then insert only /brand without the slug parameter.
If you want to provide search results for CMS pages change the enabled setting to On.
You have to specifically add the component siteSearchInclude to every CMS page you want to be searched.
Pages without this component will not be searched.
Components on CMS pages will not be rendered. Use this provider only for simple html pages. All Twig syntax will be stripped out to prevent the leaking of source code to the search results.
CMS pages with dynamic URLs (like /page/:slug) won't be linked correctly from the search results listing.
If you have CMS pages with dynamic contents consider writing your own search provider (see Add support for custom plugin contents)
To overwrite the default markup copy all files from plugins/offline/sitesearch/components/searchresults to
themes/your-theme/partials/searchResults and modify them as needed.
If you gave an alias to the searchResults component make sure to put the markup in the appropriate partials directory themes/your-theme/partials/your-given-alias.
