{searchTerms} help #257

Closed Andy2kk closed 8 months ago

Andy2kk commented 9 months ago

Hello,

I'd appreciate some advice on this.

I am attempting to fix a search engine that was working and suddenly stopped. I wanted ask if having the {} symbols in the search text would make {searchTerms} not work?

The normal link is (edited) ,"orderIds":["5193138763"]},"orCriteria":{},"pageCriteria":{"page":1,"size":25}}&savedSearchName=

The one I'm using and doesn't work, ,"orderIds":["{searchTerms}"]},"orCriteria":{},"pageCriteria":{"page":1,"size":25}}&savedSearchName=

Hi! Having {} should cause no problem with {searchTerms}. If you try that on Google, for example, you should see {} will be part of the search, plus the selected text replacing {searchTerms}.

SSS hasn't been updated in a while and you mentioned that this search engine suddenly stopped working, so if it was working before it must be that something else changed, maybe in the website/thingy you are using. :)

If you want you can provide the full link you are using so that I can take a look.
