Low Search: Searching across MSM sites

Visiluna 12 Dec 2013 17:51 question, complete

I'm using Multiple Site Manager. I need to be able to include collections from multiple sites in search results.

Example:

Search form on Site A will return search results for entries in Site A and Site B.

I was under the impression this add-on would support such a solution, but I can't find any way to make that work.

Am I out of luck? If Low Search won't do this, is there something that will?

Thanks,
PJ

   You can use the site="" parameter, just like any native tag.

   So how (and where) would I use the site="" parameter in a template on SITE A to return results that included entries from both SITE A and SITE B?
   
   Thanks in advance for your assistance.

   If you're using a form per site, you could add this the one that needs to pull in results from both sites:
   
   

   <input type="hidden" name="site" value="site1|site2">

   That seems to work.
   
   Thanks!
