Advanced Search (that also supports Docman)

Post by I-MAG » Thu Sep 12, 2024 2:17 pm

Hi,
I'm looking for advanced search component that allows boolean search, and also field search (so vistor can choose to search for the word in the title or text for example).
I want it also to allow the visitor to choose where to search (everything, articles, Docman entries).

What do you suggest?
It does not have to be free, I'm willing to pay for a powerful search extensio that does all that.
Thanks.

Why not simply use Joomlashack Smart Search? It should do what you want.

O great, it does the trick. :)
The only issue is that I failed to make the module show the advanced search options. it only shows after someone searches and get the results.
Any idea how I do that?
