The Form2Content Search Component and Module allows you to do ABSOLUTE SEARCHES on JOOMLA ARTICLES (created using F2C). It's like searching on PROPERTIES of articles which have been pre-defined and added to the F2C submission form.
F2C Search component
The F2C Search component is used to configure the search criteria and parameters. You can setup multiple searches for multiple content types, determine how the results are shown and which captions should be used. The SEARCH RESULTS PAGE can be configured like a JOOMLA CATEGORY BLOG LAYOUT page!
By adding a menu item ID to the Search Results Page you can link other Joomla modules to it. The item id is set in the F2C Search module parameters.
F2C Search Modules
The F2C Search Module is used to display the actual F2C Search within your Joomla website. Since it's a module you can determin the position and on which pages the Search is active (published). The SEARCH FIELDS are displayed as DROP-DOWN boxes and results are updated using AJAX.
PLEASE NOTE: It is not possible to have multiple F2C Search Modules on one page!
F2C Search is made to work with F2C Pro as it has the necessary field types for the search function.
