Search Function

How do you take off certain items that you don't want searched like files?

I am trying to do the same. I need to know how to not display some of the items and then also how to  organize the search page blocks how I see fit.  I know to remove an items you can drop a table for that id# in sys_object_search in the db but I need to know how to change the order. i.e. I want my videos show first and not profiles.

Please help.

I'd like to know this too.

Got it! :) Thanks to DosDawg!

"go to the database using phpmyadmin, look at the table sys_objects_search, remove whatever you dont want showing up on that search form.

BTW, backup your database in case you see adverse results. this worked for me on a fresh install of 7.0.5"

To order them, I would add another column to table and sort by that column.

Thanks for posting the edit. Without changing the rows sys_objects_search, does anyone no if any of the rows can be renamed to say for example  "bx_photos_inactive" or would this cause a crash? Just curious in case we wanted to re-enable a row in the future.

What I did was made an empty database. I copied the table over. Then I deleted the rows in the original table. If I need them later, I just need to copy the original table over again.

How does one who knows nothing of the DB do this without screwing it all up?

 Can you explain how to do this with phpmyadmin. I am good at design and css and some php, but still learning mysql. Would you mind explaining how you did this possibly. I am also thinking about hiding the top "Search" results block. Users will still be able to use the top search box. This will move results up on the page without needing to scroll down to realize there actually is content on the page :-).

Ah..  :)  Much better without the checkbox Block.

Amavitia, can you post how you did the db work so I too can have a backup of the sys_objects_search table.

Thanks

I will try as best as I can :) but disclaimer: do it at your own risk.

Go to your cPanel.click on MySQL Database Wizard and make a database. Go to phpmyadmin, and click on your dolphin database.  Select the table you want copied from the list on the left hand column. Go to the operations tab at the top and click it. On the right column it will say "Copy table to (database.table)". Pick the database that you want the table copied to and give the copied table a name. Select "Structure and data" and Click go.

Hopefully I did not miss anything otherwise I know someone will chime it. :P

Hey Presscon.  You were asking about this the other day.  I'm taking off today but I'll send you something tomorrow (with visuals) that shows you how to remove these search options and the action items you mentioned earlier this week.
