You have to change the file en-GB.localise.php that is located at \administrator\language\en-GB and \language\en-GB

You have to increase the value returned in the following function:
Code:
   public static function getUpperLimitSearchWord() {
      return 20;
   }

Hi!
I find the string and put 50 instead of 20, but still it returned that I had to use more than 20 character when I used over 20.

I even copy this part of the english file to nb-NO.localise.php - same result! Maybe i have to clean the cache in my browser?

You could try that. As this file is in 2 places, I believe that you have changed the file in both the places.

Hi!
First, thak you for helping me!
I did try another browser, but the same came up when I used more than 20 words. The to files are different, not only the language, but something is missing in the norwegian file. This you pointet out for me is not in the norwegian file. I did try top copy it to this file from the eng. But nothing happend. What do think I shoul do! Just change the name of the english file and place it under the norwegian lang. place?

In the Module Manager, in the module Search, hope you have changed the value of the option Box Width.

I do not know what you deleted. Have you changed the size of the box from 30 to a number above that?

Hope you are following the standard output override technique as documented at http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_output_from_the_Joomla!_core.

Hi!
Ok! Maybe I can install a new search component to my Joomla 2.5.1 - where you have ajust this from 20 to 50 - and see if this works! I know this is a bit of job for you, and I am willing to pay you for it!

My template for Joomla I did in Artisteer 3

In the file default_form.php that is located in the directory \components\com_search\views\search\tmpl, you could change the value of size.
Code:
      <input type="text" name="searchword" id="search-searchword" size="30" maxlength="<?php echo $upper_limit; ?>" value="<?php echo $this->escape($this->origkeyword); ?>" class="inputbox" />

Hi.
I have changed the value to 50 and the box length was wider, but I could not type more than 20 characters with this adjustment either.

maxlength="<?php echo $upper_limit; ?>" her I just take away this in the middle maxlength="<??>" like this, and I could type as many word I wish in the search box, but still I get the message that I was not allowed to type more then 3-20 characters!

Where is this limitvalue hiding... :-)

Bet regards

Hei!
I find out another way to solve this! In the file Component\com_search\views\search\view.html.php I just deletet this area:

//limit searchword
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
$upper_limit = $lang->getUpperLimitSearchWord();
$lower_limit = $lang->getLowerLimitSearchWord();
if (SearchHelper::limitSearchWord($searchword)) {
$error = JText::sprintf('COM_SEARCH_ERROR_SEARCH_MESSAGE', $lower_limit, $upper_limit);
}

Maybe not the best way, but it did work!

Best Regards
Rino Smebye

In your template create folder
html -> mod_search -> and copy here file default.php (from url: modules/mod_search/tmpl/default.php)

modify default.php

maxlength="'.$maxlength.'" to maxlength="'.$width.'"

In administration -> module -> search change width :)

I thing that it is best way.

I am using the latest 2.5.6 and I am still not able to change the max 20 char?

I did go through the suggestions above, with still no change. I am using the "smart search com".

Any ideas??

Changing the return-value of function "getUpperLimitSearchWord()" in
Quote:
[root]/language/[your-language]/[your-language].localise.php

on line 1059 works fine for me!!!


[your-language].localise.php
Quote:
public static function getUpperLimitSearchWord() {
return 50;
}


website source for search-form-input after modify
Quote:
<input name="searchword" id="mod-search-searchword" maxlength="50".../>
