Seach question

[gearoidg]

Finally got my site up (www.prodent.ie) almost 7000 products in it, and a nice tree menu on the side which is generated ;-)

But the client is looking for more specific searching
to explain each product has a reference number which is imported, the first reference number in each section (which is the most important one) ends in a _1 I want to be able to seach for only items that end in a _1, is there a way to do this in the actinic database? within actinic? or within the scripts

Any help would be greatfully recieved

Not 100% certain, but maybe if you made sure that the "_" was not excluded from being used for searching, and then creating your links to search on _1 and a hyperlink or button, then you might be able to do it that way.

An idea maybe..

If you had Actinic Business, you could create a searchable custom property value for the first product in each section, and then create a hidden form field in the search page, which restricts the search to just those products with the custom property defined.

Also if you've not got Business then you can put !!<<noscript>>!!Hidden Custom Keywords!!<</noscript>>!! into the description of your special products (the text won't be displayed but will be searchable).

Now you could cook up a specific search that looks only for those hidden keywords.

Menu is very slick. Are you generating it from the Actinic sectiotree structure?

Yeah tree names and tree urls
We ran into problems with it being so big (urls was over a 1mb at one stage.) But we found out that most modern browsers can unzip a gzipped file on the fly, so we just gzipped them and saved almost 700k in data transfer It does screw up though if you have something like getright enabled because getright keeps wanting to download it.
