FTSearch / Search - newbie help

Hi,

I’m not all that familiar with lotus script so I’m looking for some advice and possibly some help too…

I’ve got a web form which I need to use to search a large database 50,000+ documents. Now the form isn’t just searching all the fields, each form field needs to search 1 field each.

From what I’ve read, I’m a little confused as to what I should do, do I use a folder and a view or just a view? do I use FTSearch or Search? how to I get the results to display with the site’s template?

The help files in domino for this are very confusing.

Cheers in advance

Create simple web view to display result docs from search. Select formula should be familiar with your documents. Name it ResultView, for example.Then create a web form with all the necessary fields to set up your search. Then you have to compose a URL to search the result view.

URL should be like this:

YourDBPath/ResultView?SearchView&Query=(FIELD Form CONTAINS FormName) AND (FIELD XY CONTAINS SomeValue)

etc…

ok, I did that but for some reason I just keep getting the same results - no matter what I have the ‘Query’ equal to…

Is there something I need to do on the embedded view? or on the form that contains the view?

I’m not sure if it works with embedded view.Try using $$SearchTemplateDefault form instead.
