I’ve got to the point trying this out where FWP is asking in the Actions palette: Add the Simple Site Search results action on a page in the site.
Can’t find this. I’ve tried selecting an html box to display the results but it’s just not available. What have I missed?

The results Action is standalone so either click and hold on the Actions button in the toolbar or choose it from the Insert>Actions menu.

Yes thanks Joe - I have tried that. Screenshot here: www.hfdesign.net/fwpscreenshot.jpg
Where should I be looking?

There are 3 parts to this action
1 - add the Simple Site Search as a Folder action to the site folder
2 - select a form text field and then Item>Actions>Simple Site Search
3 - on a page in your site Insert>Action>Simple Site Search (creates an HTML box to display results)
It would probably make more sense if these were renamed as Site Search Folder action, Site Search form action and Site Search Results action.

I’m having a few problems with Simple Search and would appreciate some help. I’ve started a site based on the charcoal template at:
Search for “Women” - no results, but “women” (l/c) finds 4. Same with Will/will, Racing/racing. I can’t see where I can specify case sensitive on/off, otherwise this needs a fix. The same happens on your example site Joe (search for Proin)
http://users.softpress.com/joe/55/index.html
I’m also struggling with the formatting of the results. Everything looks great in Freeway, but the odd/even background colours don’t show up in the browser.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Ade,
We’re working on the letter casing problem now, the other things you mentioned have all been fixed internally and will be in the release build.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Ade,
Thanks for the feedback. You’ll be glad to know that both of these
issues have been resolved in an internal build of the action and will
be available when the preview period is over (if not before).
Regards,
Tim.

Hmm- hope this thread is still noticed!
I am using the WebYep action suite with the Simple Site Search actions… looks to me like the site search database is not indexing the websyep content since no content put i using webyep is found. Can i do anything about this?

Yes-I now have traced where Freeway stores the data-it folows this line in the .js file in the resources folder:
/* ************** Page data ************** */
/* Format: "Page name","Path","Page title","words,words,words","Page meta description" */
I believe the Simple Site Search is Tim Plumb’s work?
Tim-any way this excellent action can work with Max’s WebYep suite?

Sorry, no you cannot. SSS indexes the Freeway-generated content during
the site publishing process, it does not run on the server (where the
WebYep content lives).
Instead, all of the text from the pages are mashed into a JavaScript
data structure and saved in a text file, which is uploaded along with
the rest of your site. When a visitor uses the search feature, this
text file is read and used to find search results. But since WebYep
runs outside of the normal publishing process, none of its content is
consulted during publishing and thus it is missing from the SSS search
process.

There are quite a few search systems you can use though.
I use one from Fluid Dynamics

Just realised after visiting http://www.xav.com/scripts/search/ that it hasn’t evolved since 2005 - that doesn’t mean it won’t do the job for you - but there are many other offerings out there.

Hi Martin,
As Walter has already mentioned the SSS Actions work by scraping the text data from your Freeway file and munging all of this into a large array (database) that it can later use to search against. As much of your site content is being created outside of Freeway (in your CMS) SSS isn’t aware that it even exists so won’t offer any results.
You could try and manually add the data for your CMS pages to the .js data file but I’m sure there will be easier ways to do this the search with a dedicated PHP script.
Regards,
Tim.
