Handling results
In order to render search results, you need to return them from a controller. You can also drive this through a form response through standard SilverStripe forms. In this case we simply assume there's a GET parameter named q with a search term present.
use SilverStripe\CMS\Controllers\ContentController;
use SilverStripe\Control\HTTPRequest;
use SilverStripe\FullTextSearch\Search\Queries\SearchQuery;
use My\Namespace\Index\MyIndex;
class PageController extends ContentController
{
private static $allowed_actions = [
'search',
];
public function search(HTTPRequest $request)
{
$query = SearchQuery::create()->addSearchTerm($request->getVar('q'));
return $this->renderWith([
'SearchResult' => singleton(MyIndex::class)->search($query)
]);
}
}
In your template (e.g. Page_results.ss) you can access the results and loop through them. They're stored in the $Matches property of the search return object.
<% if $SearchResult.Matches %>
<h2>Results for "{$Query}"</h2>
<p>Displaying Page $SearchResult.Matches.CurrentPage of $SearchResult.Matches.TotalPages</p>
<ol>
<% loop $SearchResult.Matches %>
<li>
<h3><a href="$Link">$Title</a></h3>
<p><% if $Abstract %>$Abstract.XML<% else %>$Content.ContextSummary<% end_if %></p>
</li>
<% end_loop %>
</ol>
<% else %>
<p>Sorry, your search query did not return any results.</p>
<% end_if %>
Please check the pagination guide in the main SilverStripe documentation to learn how to paginate through search results.
