Topic: Search one folder |

I'm trying to make a search box that just searches one folder on my site.
The Specialized Search Box is fine but I don't want the select-options box.
I'm not sure how to replace the select box with a hidden value of the folder to search. Thanks.

Hidden variables look like this for example:
< form method="POST" >
< input type="hidden" name="hidden_name" value="hidden_value" >< input type="text"
name="T1" size="20" >< input type="submit" value="Submit" name="button" >
< /form >
Take the drop down box field name and a value and present it as a hidden value in the form. For example:
< input type="hidden" name="field_name" value="value" >

How to make a search input field for this directory structure:
/Folder/Subfolder-A
/Subfolder-B
/Subfolder-C
In other words, a search-box that exclusively searches Subfolders A to C.
Is there some way to submit multiple hidden values?

The specialised searching capabilities only allows you to search one folder at a time.
What you can do is to setup a second copy of FM SiteSearch Pro and just select the folders that you want this copy to search.

Thanks for the suggestion Miles.
I've given it a try, but apart from being a bit complicated, it doesn't really solve my problem.
I would like to be able to use the search selection box allowing users to pin down their searches to specific directories.
For site maintenance purposes, all searchable files are within subdirectories within the 5 main directories of the site.
Would there be some way to tweak the script so that when a directory is selected for searching, the search works on all subdirectories of that folder? It would seem quite a logical procedure (I assumed at first this was how it worked).
Sorry to be a pain about this, but in every other respect I've found the script flexible and easy to customize.
If it is difficult, maybe it would be worth considering for a future upgrade of the script.
Cheers.
