For example, if you had something tagged 'connecticut' and 'river' then your test item would show up with a search for either of those terms, but if the tag is 'connecticut river' then only a search for 'connecticut river' (sans typos) will show that as a result. Basically the tags aren't tokenized when searching, which may not be what you are expecting when you search for those terms. In fact, it may not be what we are expecting, so I'll have to discuss amongst others to determine whether or not this is a bug that needs to be fixed. Regardless, all the metadata for the item should be searchable with the simple search bar, so that if you have 'connecticut' or 'river' anywhere in the metadata for an item, that item would show up in the search results. MySQL's search is a bit finicky though, so it may not show any results while you only have a few items in your database. Long story short, if you do more data entry, then the results should get better as the data set gets larger. I hope that helps, and let me know if you have more questions. kkay on "search problems" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/search-problems#post-517 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 21:59:50 +0000 kkay 517@http://omeka.org/forums/ I'm having problems using the simple search on any public theme (including the Omeka provided themes). I'm getting no results unless searching for a tag keyword (and only if inputing the full tag name if multi-word). All other fields return nothing. I've started to modify the Thanks Roy theme but I left this line the same: <code><?php echo simple_search(array('id'=>'simple-search'),uri('items/browse')); ?></code> <a href="http://www.digitalamherst.org" rel="nofollow">www.digitalamherst.org</a> I also checked using the search functions on the admin side and am having the same problems in the basic search. The advanced search seems to be working when searching for keywords in a specific field. I poked around for the php file that has the search functions but had trouble finding it. Any suggestions?

That solved it. And if anyone is interested here are some more details: 1) The PHP search code (per KrisKelly's note) needs to be tweaked in the "header.php" file here: /omeka/themes/minimalist/common/header.php You also need to tweak the formatting of the search box by adding in some HTML formatting code (to surround your PHP) if you want the search box to float back to the right corner of the theme page. Thanks! -Trevor KrisKelly on "Search leads to 403 error" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/search-leads-to-403-error#post-114 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:40:20 +0000 KrisKelly 114@http://omeka.org/forums/ Hi, actually this is an error in the design of that theme. Back when we initially designed the themes, the search mechanism wasn't working properly, so we were putting boilerplate code in where the search bar should be. The code for that should actually be the following: <code><?php simple_search(array(), uri('items/browse')); ?></code> If you replace the HTML for the existing form with the above code, it should work fine. If you don't feel comfortable editing the source code, then feel free to wait for the next release when it should work fine. Thanks for catching that!

Additionally, has the htaccess file been moved intact to your server? More often than not 403 errors are caused by modifications and/or deletions of htaccess files. - Dave trevorjames on "Search leads to 403 error" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/search-leads-to-403-error#post-105 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:59:33 +0000 trevorjames 105@http://omeka.org/forums/ I'm receiving this error when trying to do a search of our site: 403 Permission Denied You do not have permission for this request /omeka/search.php?search=mask&submit=Search The site is here: <a href="http://variantcube.com/omeka/" rel="nofollow">http://variantcube.com/omeka/</a> -Trevor James FCPS Webmaster DaveLester on "Search results in 403 Forbidden" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/search-results-in-403-forbidden#post-77 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 04:09:24 +0000 DaveLester 77@http://omeka.org/forums/ The url you shared isn't an actual url for Omeka - notice how 'items' is listed twice in the URI. Remove one of the 'items' in the URI and the 404 error page is removed. kerim on "No Search Results" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/no-search-results#post-76 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 13:49:45 +0000 kerim 76@http://omeka.org/forums/ I am unable to produce search results doing a simple search in any of the themes.

However, the results of a search are a 403 error page. I assume this is a permissions error, but I couldn't find the appropriate file I must change. Thanks!

For example, if you search for “Wende” – you get a return of 453 items (I know we do not have that many objects with “Wende” in the title or text, although we do have several items from the Wende Museum (just not 453 items…). If I were searching for “Bratislava” – which is one of the case studies about the “Bratislava Five” (item #125) – it returned 426 items, although none are close to this topic. Instead, it returned items on Poland, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Armenia and other areas. I did finally find the document, but it buried in the fourth page of results. When searching for “East Germany” the first return is a poster on “Traditional Soviet Values for children” (Item #3). Viewing the item, there is no reference at all to East Germany anywhere in the text. Searching for “Honecker” (say I am looking for item #301 – Erich Honecher’s Reden und Aufsätze) it is the 18th return (it seems like the first results are the same no matter what you search for - #3 is always there). The Honecker item should come up easily, since I tagged it with “Honecker.” Is there any way to optimize this search function? Thanks, Jon
