In an 'advanced search' interface i would like to provide the ability to search using the path index of my catalog (index id: 'p', catalog id: 'Catalog').
A sample of my catalog: /site_root/publications /site_root/publications/newsletter /site_root/publications/newsletter/edition01/articleA /site_root/publications/newsletter/edition01/articleB /site_root/publications/magazine /site_root/publications/magazine/fall2003/articleC /site_root/publications/magazine/fall2003/articleD /site_root/publications/magazine/winter2003/articleE /site_root/publications/magazine/spring2003/articleF
So that if the user were to type "magazine" into the field they would get the last 5 objects in my catalog.
however, this does not work right now. currently i have to type "/site_root/publications/magazine" into the field. this is becuase the default level for pathIndex searches is 0 (line 154 of PathIndex.py). to change this I must pass the argument as a tuple (query,level) with the level set to -1. My question is this: how do I do that using the get method of a form? how do I pass the (query,level) tuple from the form in the URL?
I have tried this: http://www.mysite.com/search?p=magazine&p=-1
which gives me a p variable of: ['magazine','-1'] but still does not give me any results.
Try: http://www.mysite.com/search?path.query:record=magazine&path.level:record:in... Using a hidden field in the form with the name set to "path.level:record:int" and the value set to -1 should do it. This marshalls a path variable as something like a dict (a record object), and stores the integer '-1' as the value for the key 'level'. Alec Mitchell
