Search button does not search INT field

[rleyba]

Hi Steve,

One of my Xataface tables has the schema below. Everything seems to work except that when I click the search button on the page, it does NOT seem to search the VlanID field which is integer. The FIND button finds it though. Example, if I type 465 in the Search button and click Submit....nothing shows up...but if I go to FIND....then under VLANID type in 465, then it shows the relevant rows. How do we change the behaviour of the Search bar so it can search integers too?

I have the same experience with the Mask field, which is also an integer.

Thanks very much.

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `FIREWALL_INTERFACES` (
  `Firewall_Name` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  `Logical_Interface` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  `VlanID` int(4) NOT NULL,
  `Active` char(3) NOT NULL,
  `link_avail` varchar(7) NOT NULL,
  `Type` varchar(22) NOT NULL,
  `IP_Address` char(15) NOT NULL,
  `Mask` int(3) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`Firewall_Name`,`Logical_Interface`,`VlanID`,`Active`,`link_avail`,`Type`,`IP_Address`,`Mask`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Yes. The search in the upper right produces the -search GET parameter. This matches only char, varchar, and text fields. The find form allows more precise searches on particular fields.

Ok, thanks....will change the field type.

An alternative to changing the field type is to add a grafted field that is searchable. Sometimes I'll create a concatenated field on a table for the sole purpose of searching ... then I hide the field from all of my views.

E.g. fields.ini

Code: Select all

__sql__ = "select a.*, concat(a.field1,' ',a.field2,' ',a.field3) as search_field from atable a"
