Integrating Grid Images into Search Result...

[RocBoy001]

Hello,

Would it be possible to place the search results into a table format such as this? Here is an example search of "sticker" from the website thehundreds.com
http://shop.thehundreds.com/e-entity.gridsearch.aspx?SearchTerm=sticker

A couple of questions if this is possible to do with Wrensoft Zoom Search Engine...
1) Would this mean that I would also have to index pictures also? Or would I have add "icons" to what is being searched?
2) I believe that they are using ASPX for their search engine and also for their regular shopping pages... My current set up with Wrensoft Zoom is that the search engine is set up in a php format. Would I still be able to do the same thing with PHP over ASPX?

Thanks!

This previous forum post gives an example of using CSS to make the search results appear in a grid-like, image-only format:

You may need to add custom meta fields support if you wanted to match the current results with pricing and titles, etc. More information on Custom Meta Fields here:

1) You don't need to index images. Just setup your thumbnails as described here:
Q. How do I associate images with my search results?

2) Not sure what you mean by "PHP over ASPX".

You could certainly have PHP pages sitting alongside an ASPX website (so long as your web server has PHP support enabled accordingly). Though it would mean that you won't be able to use the ASPX headers and footers you might have preestablished.

Or, you could switch over to use ASPX if you have adequate access to your server to install the ASP.NET native control as described here.

Or, you could embed the CGI results within an ASPX page as described here.
