Search entry_id and number

ngoncom 27 Apr 2016 05:07 question, complete

Hi Low!

I have one input for user type: keywords or number.

If user type number only I want Low Search understand will search entry_id.

I've tried but seem Low Search can't search number, it results all entries.

Thank Low!

   Hi,
   
   I find out a way to solve this:
   
   I using php regex to check keywords to know it is text or number, if it is number I show entry_id = number.
   
   I enable php (input) and using this code:
   
   

   {exp:low_search:results ... 
   
     <?php if (preg_match("/([0-9]+)/i", $_GET['keywords'])):?> 
     entry_id="<?=$_GET['keywords']?>" 
     <?php endif; ?> 
   
    {/exp:low_search:results} 
    

   
   Thank!

   I guess that's one way of doing it. Slightly safer would be to create an extension that sets the keywords="" or entry_id="" parameter based on the same principle.
