SilverStripe Elemental Site Search Module
=========================================

[](#silverstripe-elemental-site-search-module)

Basic site search for the SilverStripe Elemental module. It works by saving a text reprentation of the elemental area to an extra field in SiteTree.

Requires
--------

[](#requires)

- [SilverStripe](https://www.silverstripe.org/)
- [SilverStripe Elemental](https://github.com/dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Install this module with composer

[](#install-this-module-with-composer)

```
composer require jbennecker/silverstripe-elemental-site-search

```

Make sure you don't have `FulltextSearchable` enabled in `_config.php`.

### Add the search form

[](#add-the-search-form)

To add the search form, add `$SearchForm` anywhere in your template.

For example in Header.ss

```
...

    $SearchForm

...

```

### Override the template

[](#override-the-template)

Lastly you can override the template for the result page.

app/templates/Layout/Page\_results.ss

```

    $Title

        You searched for "{$Query}"

                $MenuTitle

                $Title

            $Content.LimitWordCountXML
            Read more about "{$Title}"...

    Sorry, your search query did not return any results.

        Next

        Prev

                $PageNum

                $PageNum

        Page $Results.CurrentPage of $Results.TotalPages

```

### Clear caches

[](#clear-caches)

Then finally add ?flush=1 to the URL and you should see the new template.

### Customization

[](#customization)

You can customize the search form by defining the following values in your `app/_config/site-search.yml`:

```
jbennecker\ElementalSiteSearch\SearchForm:
    search_field_min_length: 3 # Minimum length of the search query (default: 4)
```
