[web2py] expert_search=True

[Richard]

Hello,

I would improve default search widget a bit like that :

                if expert_search:

                   search_widget = lambda sfield, url: CAT(FORM(

                       TEXTAREA(_name='keywords',

                                _class='expert_search',

                                _value=request.vars.keywords,

                                _id=skeywords_id,

                                _onfocus="jQuery('#%s').change();jQuery('#%s').slideDown();" % (spanel_id, sfields_id) if advanced_search else ''

                       ),

                       INPUT(_type='submit', _value=T('Search'), _class="btn btn-default"),

                       INPUT(_type='submit', _value=T('Clear'), _class="btn btn-default",

                             _onclick="jQuery('#%s').val('');" % skeywords_id),

                       _method="GET", _action=url), search_menu)

               else:

                   search_widget = lambda sfield, url: CAT(FORM(

                       INPUT(_name='keywords',

                             _value=request.vars.keywords,

                             _id=skeywords_id,

                             _onfocus="jQuery('#%s').change();jQuery('#%s').slideDown();" % (spanel_id, sfields_id) if advanced_search else ''

                       ),

                       INPUT(_type='submit', _value=T('Search'), _class="btn btn-default"),

                       INPUT(_type='submit', _value=T('Clear'), _class="btn btn-default",

                             _onclick="jQuery('#%s').val('');" % skeywords_id),

                       _method="GET", _action=url), search_menu)

So the search query is easier to write for an "expert"...

But I didn't find where the search form get parsed... We need to strip line break of the textarea in order to have this feature.

Thanks

I just test, and it doesn't seem to make problem having line break...

The form didn't get parsed the way I thought... keywords is not empty in case there is query parameters in the search field (name keywords) then build_query() kicks in...

        if key and not ' ' in key and not '"' in key and not "'" in key:

            SEARCHABLE_TYPES = ('string', 'text', 'list:string')

            parts = [field.contains(

                key) for field in fields if field.type in SEARCHABLE_TYPES]

Not sure if the piece of code above is doing all the work or not...

Richard
