Search without submit button?

ngoncom 23 Apr 2014 16:17 question, complete

Hi Low!

I have a question about ability of Low Search. I want return search results without have to click submit button.

As this case, I set keyword in embed:

We have {embed="stuff/search-item" my_keywords="sony xperia z"} Xperia in store!

So, in embed template "stuff/search-item" I will place Low Search Result tag in it to perform search.

Above code return:

We have 5 Xperia in store!

is my willing!

Thank Low!

   You can hard-code any of the Low Search parameters in the Results tag, so in your case, something like this:
   
   

   {exp:low_search:results keywords="{embed:my_keywords}" ... }

   Hi Low!
   
   I create template "test" and place this code:
   
   

   {exp:low_search:results keywords="sony xperia z"} 
    {title}
   {/exp:low_search:results}

   
   
   It return 2 products, when I search with this form:
   
   

   {exp:low_search:form result_page="search" form_id="search-form"} 
   
    {/exp:low_search:form}

   
   
   With keywords as above 'sony xperia z' it return 3 products. I try rebuild index, but nothing improvement!
   
   Second, I try add channel:
   
   

   {exp:low_search:results keywords="sony xperia z" channel="sony"} 
    {title}
   {/exp:low_search:results}

   
   
   Nothing return!
   
   Have I missing somethings? Thank Low!

   What's the results tag in the /search template? Also, does the "sony" channel actually exist? You can turn on template debugging and look up all the lines that mention Low Search to get an idea of what's going on. Copy/paste those lines here for the cases you describe above.

   I am using EE 2.7.3, Low Search 3.1.4 and installed some module:
   - ce_cache
   - ifelse
   - mo_variables
   - seo_lite
   - snaptcha
   - stash
   - switchee
   - wygwam
   - zoo_visitor...
   
   Thank so much!

   It could be that the entry that isn't returned has a different status than 'Open', or its entry/expiration dates fall outside the threshold of what is allowed back. Regular standard EE channel:entries filtering still applies, so that could be it.

   Hi Low, that appreciate help!
   
   I am very sorry for spending your time, the problem is status (I have an entry with status not = open) causing wrong results.
   
   

   {exp:low_search:results keywords="sony xperia z" status="not closed"} 
    {title} 
    {/exp:low_search:results}

   
   
   Above code works well!
