Hi,

It seems that drupal doesn't have a lot notification modules that fits my needs.
I need a kind of email alert for predefined search options that are set up by the user. Like: "Send me an email if there are any results out of my predefined search"

Due to that Drupal seems to be far away from that module I would like start from the beginning:

The predefined search
=================

Is there any possibility that user can save their search criteria to access the same search again later??

thx in advance
Best regards
Stefan

Try Views_SavedSearches.module (http://drupal.org/project/views_savedsearches).

I'm currently using views saved searches. Anyone have a solution to emailing new nodes that fit the criteria of a saved search?

Hi,
I would like to have the same...
I didn't test "Views Saved Searches" module yet, I will test that nearly...
For notifications, you can test :
http://drupal.org/project/notifications
I don't know if this will work, but if it's work could you say here ?
Thanks for all ;)
Bye

Hi Protitude,
Have you found a solution for this ?

e.g. if i have a custom content type "Fish" which has some fields like "name", "color", "speed" etc, is there a module which shows these fields in a search form where user can enter the search values and search?

sorry if it is too basic, but i am only 3 days into drupal?

I came across this module recently that may work:

All you need to do is -

1. Create a new View
2. Add Filters in the new View based on which you want to do the search
3. Expose the fields that you want users to put values for during search
4. Add Fields to be displayed.
5. Create a Display (e.g. Page) for the View

Now all you need to do is set appropriate permissions and add the newly created View to a Block.

Hope this helps someone!
