Hi

I needed to search from one of the parameters of the urls in my app and I couldn't find anything useful for having the search term as an argument and not a filter, so I've added it.

I am testing it but seems to work fine.

(The zip attached includes views_handler_argument_search.inc file, which should be placed in views/modules/search folder)

It would be cool if you would include the handler in the patch, read http://drupal.org/patch/create how to do it with cvs.

// $Id

Should be $Id$

 * @author pcambra

I'm not sure whether this should be part of the handler...

The code of the handler looks fine, but i will test it better later

You are right. I've removed the author and corrected the $Id
I followed the instructions to add a file with a patch and I hope I did correctly!

Why does the .inc in the zip file not work with views 2.x? The argument option does not get picked up when adding Search arguments.

I have packaged a small module that basically adds the above code to Views 2.x. I've tested it in Views 2.12 and it seems to work just fine. Just drop it in, enable it, and voila: a Search Terms argument in Views.

Note: the module makes some assumptions about the structure of the existing Views code, so this might not work forever. Worth a try, though, and I hope someone finds it useful.
