Hi-

I was wondering if it's possible to search a subset of pages in MojoPortal? I adminster a pretty large MojoPortal site, and have a request from some of the content administrators who are creating a new section of pages on the website. They would like to know if it's possible to create a search that only searches their section?

I was thinking of how I could implement this without writing a new search module, the only way I could think of is to create a hidden term on the page that would be added to a search box, for example I would have the hidden term sectionsearch on each of the pages within that section, and then create a custom search module or some javascript that appended sectionsearch into the search query before querying MojoPortal's search feature.

Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Joe-

Thanks for the reply. There's a lot of terms that appear on many pages on our website, just because we have a ton of pages, and because we are we a somewhat focused site that deals with Law Enforcement training, the same terms will appear on many pages.

Part of the reason we are running into these problems is that we're using the MojoPortal CMS for far more than it was originally intended to. We're sort of using it as a Learning Management System (using a combination of the shared files module and the forum modules, slightly modified) and Document Management System (shared files module and custom modules) in addition to its original role as a CMS package. 

This specific page the end user is requesting to be searchable because they are taking a large PDF document and replicating it on the website, so they would like the ability to search the subset of pages on the website that correspond to the pages from that document. 

Your solution of implementing a separate related site for that document would work, I think. Let me think about it some more.

Thanks again for the help.

Mike
