page-based search

[dussaxi]

I can't get page based search to work. Any help? I have a page with two collection pages:

01.blog -> blog.md -> /blog1 ...etc. 02.books -> books.md -> /book1 ... etc.

I want to add a search-box on both of these collection pages. Each of the search-box shall only search the sites beneath the collection site they are on.

Any help what I have to put in the yaml file and the page frontmatter to get this to work?

Ok I finally got it to work. I share my findings here. It was all about the route and a missing results page. My structre is like this: 01,blog -->blog.md 04.books -->books.md -->book1 ---->book.md ..

in my simplesearch.yaml I have:

    route: /search
    search_content: rendered
    template: mysearch_results
    filters:
    filter_combinator: or

my blog.md looks something like:

 title: Blog
    content:
        items: '@self.children'
        order:
            by: date
            dir: desc
        limit: 5
        pagination: true
    pagination: true
    simplesearch:
        route: /search
        filters:
            - @self
        filter_combinator: and

my books.md looks like this:

    title: Books
    content:
        items: '@self.children'
        order:
            by: date
            dir: desc
        limit: 20
        pagination: true
    pagination: true  
    simplesearch:
        route: /search
        filters:
            - @self
        filter_combinator: and

in both, my blog.html.twig and books.html.twig I include the sidebar with:

{% include 'partials/sidebar.html.twig' with {'page':page} %}

!!Attention: In this two files I have to delete the change of the base_url, which was:

{% set base_url = page.url %}

This line caused the problem on the books.md. page, so the search result never was shown.

in the sidebar.html.twig the searchbox is included with this command lines:

```

{% set new_base_url = page.url == '/' ? '' : page.url %} {% if config.plugins.simplesearch.enabled %}

SimpleSearch

{% include 'partials/simplesearch_searchbox.html.twig' %}

{% endif %}

and the simplesearch_searchbox.html.twig remains unchanged.

Good luck
