Search Form Appearance

[Jeff Stallard]

I can set my search form appearance to:

1. Do not generate.
2. Basic.
3. Advanced

I want to use Categories, but not Results Per Page. Basic has neither, and Advanced has both. Is there a way to either use Basic and include Categories, or use Advanced and supress Results Per Page?

I know I can modify search.asp, but I want to avoid that for obvious reasons, and because I know almost nothing about coding.

You could create your own search form.
+ If you turn on the advanced search form
+ Make a copy of the HTML code generated.
+ Remove the fields you don't want
+ Add your new custom form to the search_template.html
+ Then select 'do not generate' to stop the default form

This is not a perfect solution as the fields will not be automatically populated.

Other solution would be to use CSS to hide the results per page field.

Here is the default CSS for the field.
.zoom_results_per_page { font-size: 80%; margin-left: 10px; }

If you change it to
.zoom_results_per_page { display:none;}
this might fix your problem.

.zoom_results_per_page { display:none;} works great. Thanks! I guess I need to brush up on my CSS knowledge.

I have to demo my new search engine, powered by Zoom of course, to the big dogs in a few days, so your quick responses are very much appreciated.
