I am trying to figure out how I can search using more than one word in a text field on my search page. The search doesn't work if all of the words are not together in the same field. For example if I type in the words "December" and "Printer" and I want it to search all fields for those two words and display the results. I think php is capable of this. Is it something I need to edit in a .php file. Thanks for the help.

Jordon,
PHPRunner do not support this type of search.

As workaround you can edit add search params section in the generated ..._list.php file.

But this task requires a lot of custom coding.

If I could be pointed in right direction as far as what I need to change in the .php file that would be awsome. Is this what they call php full text search? Is this something that you will incorporate in the next version?

Hi,
open and modify following code snippet:

// add search params

if(@$_SESSION[$strTableName."_search"]==1)

...



Unfortunately we don't have a ready to go solution for this.
We plan to add this feature in one of the next versions.
