Hello all,

I've been working on a site,  www.thegotobook.com.  I have it set up in categories on the left side, and when a category is clicked on, a page with the businesses (in all different cities) comes up, then you can click to their full page from there.

I'd like to set it up so someone can go to the site and simply do a SEARCH with keywords, for example: Pizza, Wellington...and ONLY a list of the results would come up by BUSINESS NAME.  There should be only 1 result, (Dean Anthony's)  but right now when I use the included search box, those same keywords yield 30 results with "URL" like descriptions.

Does anyone know how to achive this with the included search box, or another way to do this?

 

thank you,

John

Hey John,

You may look into the search functionality provided by Venexus. I understand it is a leading alternative to the default DNN search. http://www.venexus.com/Store/tabid/55/agentType/View/PropertyID/1/Default.aspx

Take care,

Ian

It sounds like you're developing a custom application, and really need a module for it with module-specific search and sorting.
