You may specify a search inside a page with the
[search-region parameters*] tag. The parameters are the same as the the one-click search, and the
output is always a newline-separated list of the return objects -- by
default a series of item codes.
The [loop ...] tag directly accepts a search parameter. To search for all products in the
categories ``Americana'' and ``Contemporary'' you can do:
[loop search="
se=Americana
se=Contemporary
os=yes
sf=category9
"]
Artist: [loop-field artist]<BR>
Title: [loop-field title]<P>
[/loop]
The advantage of the in-page search is that you can embed searches within searches, and you can have straight unchanging links from static HTML pages.
To place an in page search with the full range of display in a normal
results page, use the [search-region] tag the same as above, except that you can place [search-list], [more-list], and [more]
tags within it and use them to display and format the results -- including
paging.
For example:
[search-region more=1
search="
se=Americana
sf=category
ml=2
"]
[more-list][more][/more-list]
[search-list]
<A MV="page [item-code]" HREF="flypage.html">
[item-field title]<A>, by [item-field artist]
[/search-list]
[no-match]
Sorry, no matches for [value mv_searchspec].
[/no-match]
[/search-region]
If you want to use the same page for search paging, make sure you set the sp=page parameter.
