As the title states - I've tried with both Text and Autocomplete elements on both node-finder and view-finder and get the same results. Disjunction works fine, but does not suit my purposes. Would love to hear any ideas on this!

Can you give some information about your use-case?

Thanks for getting back to me. Not sure what to tell you since the behavior is consistent over all different scenarios (in this particular installation). Currently, I am using it to search a view (of available publications) and it works completely with disjunction (text element) but returns no results for the other two (even if using a single-word query). I wonder if it may be a conflict with another module (lucene or customsearch seem the obvious culprits, though disabling them has had no effect). Here is the drush report in case that throws up any red flags to you:

"This may actually be my misunderstanding what this module does. When I selected items under "Find items by this field: ", I thought that selecting multiple fields would allow me to search in multiple values. However, if used with Conjunction, then the module requires that the keywords appear in ALL of these fields. In fact, it seems to me that the only way to accomplish this is by using multiple form elements which my client feels looks sloppy. Am I wrong about this?

Yes it does.

However, if used with Conjunction, then the module requires that the keywords appear in ALL of these fields.

Yes, of course. That is what conjunction means.

In fact, it seems to me that the only way to accomplish this is by using multiple form elements which my client feels looks sloppy.

What? No...

I don't understand why you are selecting the conjunction option? If you don't want conjunction, don't use conjunction.

Please explain your use-case.

danielb’s picture

danielb commented

Are you saying you want conjunction between multiple values or delimited words, but disjunction between fields?

Dr Jay’s picture

Dr Jay commented

I want users to be able to put keywords into a single text field and have that query multiple fields (Node_title, Node_body and a cck_textfield) with conjunction.

danielb’s picture

danielb commented

I think the problem here is possibly that you have made certain assumptions about what a keyword is, and what conjunction is. Give an example of exactly what you have done, what you expected, and why you think it didn't work.
An export of your finder, as per the instructions when posting a new issue, would also be helpful.

I've switched modules (since the client doesn't want multiple, content-specific form fields, so I can't give you an export dump at this point. So I imagine this is more of a feature request rather than a support request at this point. I feel as though I should be able to have a single form field (search textfield) element that would search whatever content I select in the element's settings (for example, multiple cck fields) and be able to do a conjunction within all of these fields. Perhaps an example would be clearer:

-I have a publications page displaying output from a view (title, author, publication date, and description/body)
-The end-user (front-end) should contain a single textfield element so that it is visually indistinguishable from the default drupal search.
-The element should be set to search all four of the displayed fields using conjunction.

So take the following sample publication:
Title: Ender's Game
Author: Orson Scott Card
Published: July 15 1994
Description: Intense is the word for Ender's Game. Aliens have attacked Earth twice and almost destroyed the human species. To make sure humans win the next encounter, the world government has taken to breeding military geniuses -- and then training them in the arts of war... The early training, not surprisingly, takes the form of 'games'... Ender Wiggin is a genius among geniuses; he wins all the games... He is smart enough to know that time is running out. But is he smart enough to save the planet?

The following searches should return true:
- Ender's Game
- Ender's Game Card
- July Card
- July Intense
- etc...

OK I think the limitation is as I mentioned in #5 where setting conjunction on the element applies this to both the delimited keywords and the fields, and finder doesn't give you more control over this.
I think the design challenge for me is that you would also have to provide an option for how to nest the keywords and fields - if that is an issue ?

(Title LIKE "%Ender's%" OR Title LIKE "%Game%" OR Title LIKE "%Card%") AND (Body LIKE "%Ender's%" OR Body LIKE "%Game%" OR Body LIKE "%Card%")

(Title LIKE "%Ender's%" OR Body LIKE "%Ender's%") AND (Title LIKE "%Game%" OR Body LIKE "%Game%") AND (Title LIKE "%Card%" OR Body LIKE "%Card%")

I guess you would be after the second one, where each keyword must appear in either the title and/or body. Whereas the first one requires each field to contain at least one of the keywords.

It's difficult to get my head around the different ways things could go together, and if you swap the AND/ORs around, etc...

Chalk this up as a feature request, sorry I couldn't help.

No problem - thanks for keeping it in mind - great module for what it does!

I second this feature request...specifically this:

I guess you would be after the second one, where each keyword must appear in either the title and/or body.

codevoice commented

Yes, +1 on this. OP, what module did you end up using instead?

Lanae’s picture

Lanae commented

I can't speak for the OP but I ended up going with Better Exposed Filters (BEF) and designing my own template for the Views exposed filters form. It doesn't have all the nice features that Finder has, but this issue prevents me from using Finder. If this gets fixed, I will go back to Finder.

I have changed the module in a way that should fix this, but I haven't done much testing of the feature. I'll commit it to cvs and it'll appear in dev and we'll go from there.
