Specifications
for our Search Pages. The
user can enter search words separated by spaces, commas, colons,
semicolons, dashes, slashes, hyphens or underscores and the
search will still interpret the text as separate words.
The user can specify how they want the search to interpret
the entered text. e.g. search for ALL WORDS, ANY WORDS or EXACT
PHRASE.
The search can look for matches to the entered text within multiple
table columns and separate tables of the database.
The user can specify additional search parameters. In our example
Album database the user may search for all formats and music
genres or specify particular formats and genres to search. This
tutorial will demonstrate how you can add as many additional
parameters as you wish in order to allow the user to refine
their search.
The user can specify how the search results are sorted and in
which order they are to be displayed.
The user can use as many or as few of the search parameters
as they wish. e.g. if the user doesn't enter any text and leaves
all the following parameters at there default settings then
the search will find and display everything. No combination
of search parameters will cause the search to fail or give nasty
database driver error messages. |
