Pre-made search?

Pre-made search?

I would like to create a link that, without having to fill out the search form, pulls up a particular search.

For example, if the editor puts the author name in each article, I would like to make a link (or something) that will pull up all articles that contain that author's name.

How do I do that?

Thank you!
Brett

This needs a new search script. However, I will see what I can do for you.

Pre-made search?

In attachment is an author search script. Rename the script asearch.php and copy it to your main directory.

Usage: asearch.php?author=authorname

Here an template example:
Find and replace in news:

Code:

Posted by $insert[story_author]

with

Code:

Posted by <a href="asearch.php?author=$insert[story_author]">$insert[story_author]</a>

Let me know if you have any questions
