simple search funtion - Web Wiz Support and Community Forums

The search form in the forum is submitted to a page called 'search_process.asp' which does all the hard work of pressing the search, once the search is complete and stored in the web servers memory only then are you passed to the search_results_posts.asp page.

Have a look at the search_form.asp page as you will need to create many of the fields within the form as hidden fields for the search process to work.

This is something I created that appears to work for me. Smile

You may want to change some of the settings if you don't like the default settings I made.

Borg,

It would be nice if there was an option to search both the title and the message,
