Thank you.

I'm planning to have a development release ready by this coming weekend. Once that's available, I hope you can help me with some feedback about bugs, so I can move the status to a D7 alpha or beta release relatively quickly.

William: I started to look into the D7 port and I might have underestimated the complexity (mostly because I can't as easily get access to the complete view object in the hook_form_alter call that does most of the work in the current Views Search module).

After playing around with the D7 version of Views itself, it seems like some of the functionality is already included in the basic Views module:

  • Separates the search form and results: Check (available as option for every view, customizable)
  • Allows users to start over with a search: Check (configurable for every view)
  • Allows users to modify the search criteria: Not available yet
  • Saved Searches: Not available yet

Which of these features do you need most? I think for this to work in Drupal 7, I have to re-write most of the module, which could take a bit longer than this coming weekend. Therefore, I wanted to get an idea about the feature needs.

Thank you for your time.
I think the main features needed are those that you listed, mainly the ones that aren't operative yet :)

•Allows users to modify the search criteria: Not available yet
•Saved Searches: Not available yet

It would be interesting as well in providing a simple search view that can lead to an extensible search (read: advanced search) when selected.

Grtz and thx!

The developer already discussed the module's availability. It is a question of 'developing'-time as the module needs a full rewrite. Latest changes in views 3 implicate even more rewriting.
Patience & comprehension is the message.

hi, i have a quick question about this response:
"After playing around with the D7 version of Views itself, it seems like some of the functionality is already included in the basic Views module:

Separates the search form and results: Check (available as option for every view, customizable)"

would someone be able to explain how to implement this? i have a view set up for user profiles, and i'd like users to be able to search a particular field (e.g. "What city were you born in?") - i'm confused how to set this up so that the search form is not on the same page as the result.

thanks so much for any help.

Is there an alternative to this module that allows users to include multiple terms in their search before submitting it? For example, I have a database of car parts and I want to filter the view by exposed filters to allow users to specify Make + and/or Model + and/or Year to filter down their results

I'm also interested in this functionality and can also help developing it.

There is an option with Search API to use "search index" View type and create a view with selected fields for search index. Search field can be one of the exposed filters. The problem is that it does not support a multi-valued relationships yet, because I needed a relationship behind selected fields :S

It would be much easier to just have a normal (content type) View with search field exposed for all selected fields.

I am also very interested in this feature for D7.

Does anyone have any basic code for testing and further development?

I took a quick look at this with Coder and aside from the work of getting it to work with Views3 it needs to have proper i18n support so that it will work in other languages than English.

I was impressed at how far the Coder Upgrader can go, but not far enough to be worth uploading with this module (due to the Views 3 changes).

Would love to see this for Drupal 7 or maybe theres a chance to merge with http://drupal.org/project/views_savedsearches for the saved searches part?

I'd happily chip on some dollars & patches to speed up development. Anyone else?

Cheers
Tom
