Description

Retrieves page and product data on pages that qualify for a keyword search.

Syntax

$arrPages= eV::pageSearchGet($keywords[,$fieldList=NULL][,$orderBy=NULL][,$orderDir="DESC"][,$orderType="str"]);

Paramaters

• $keywords STRING

Keywords to be used to qualify the page search

• $fieldList STRING (optional)

comma delimited list of field names you would like returned. leaving this value empty will return all fields, though this is not recommended as it could significantly reduce system performance. Page custom fields can be requested by prepending the custom field name with "custom_field_" (example: to include the "myVar" custom field, add "custom_field_myVar" to the $fieldList).

• $orderBy STRING (optional)

field to order by. This field must be present in the $fieldList. defaults to 'orderId' which corresponds to the order the children are listed in relationships management for the parent $pageId

• $orderDir STRING (optional)

Either "ASC" or "DESC" signifying the direction of the sorted results. Defaults to "DESC".

• $orderType STRING (optional)

Either "str" or "num" signifying how the values will be compared when sorting the results. Defaults to "str"

Return Values

Returns a multidimensional array of page data that qualifies for the search. The first dimension is a numerically indexed array of each child (starting from 0). The second dimension is an associative array of keys corresponding to the fields requested in the $fieldList attribute (if $fieldList is empty, all fields are returned. This is not recommended as it creates unnecessary overhead).

The returned array is as follows (all possible fields are listed, note that only fields requested will be returned):

Elements from the page associative array are as follows:

Examples

Example

// call
$searchArr = eV::pageSearchGet('several keywords here','title,summary,summaryImage,link','relevance','DESC','num');
// output
foreach($searchArr as $search) {
echo "<hr>";
echo "<a href=\"" . $search['link'] . "\">";
echo "<img align=\"left\" src=\"" . $search['summaryImage'] . "\">";
echo "</a>";
echo "<a href=\"" . $search['link'] . "\">" . $search['title'] . "</a>";
echo "<br>" . $search['summary'];
echo "<br><i>Relevance:" . $search['relevance'] . "</i>";
