Custom field variables not parsing in low_search:results tag
Hi Low,
I have a complex search form that has keywords as well as several text inputs to filter by custom fields. The searching works well, but in the results loop, I can't display the custom field value that was searched.
From the docs it looks like {low_search_search:my_custom_field} should show the text that was searched for in the custom field, but it does not parse at all.
eg.
{exp:low_search:results query="{segment_3}" collection="bibliographies" limit="30" orderby="bibliography_year_created|title" sort="desc|asc"}
{if count == '1'}
You searched for {low_search_keywords} within the year {low_search_search:bibliography_year_created}
{/if}
... results...
{/exp:low_search:results}
Am I missing something or is this not supported?
I'm using Low Search 1.0.7

Hi Mike,
Actually, those variables are currently only available within the low_search:form tag. I'll consider adding them to the low_search:results tag for a future version.

Is this still the case Low? I've been struggling to get this to show within the low_search_results tag.

It is. Do you still need it in the results tag?

Hi Low
It's not crucial, but I would half expect a search to be able to say "Here are your search results for x and y.". It seems more logical to have that available in the results loop rather than the search form, but perhaps that's just me.
Cheers
Jim

Okay, I'll change this to a feature request to keep better track of it.
