For example, if the user only wants to search through Newsfeed and not Articles, using the search areas feature (shown to users as <strong>Search Only<\/strong>) they can do this. If you disable this setting, the Search Only feature (highlighted in the screenshot to the right) will not show to users.<\/p> <div style=\"clear: both;\">\u00a0<\/div> <h3>Created Date<\/h3> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"558\" class=\"wp-image-11270\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/edu_joomla-3_components_search_search-created-on.jpg\" alt=\"search-created-on\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/edu_joomla-3_components_search_search-created-on.jpg 513w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/edu_joomla-3_components_search_search-created-on-269x300.jpg 269w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><br>\u00a0 <p>By default, when you search a Joomla site, in the results the date the article was created on will show.

That\u2019s an OpenSearch feature. If you see in the screenshot to the right, when you\u2019re on our Joomla site\u2019s search results page, users have the option to add a custom OpenSearch toolbar, which will allow them to quickly search our site, and only our site.<\/p> <p>OpenSearch was developed in 2005 by Amazon. In our many years in technical support, the phrase OpenSearch has not come up often, but most everyone is familiar with what it is (but maybe not its name).<\/p> <p>The Joomla Search Component includes two OpenSearch settings, <strong>OpenSearch Name<\/strong> and <strong>OpenSearch Description<\/strong>.<\/p> <p>In our testing, we entered the following settings:<\/p> <table class=\"article_table\"> <tbody> <tr> <th style=\"text-align:center; vertical-align:middle\">OpenSearch Name<\/th> <td style=\"text-align:center; vertical-align:middle\">Joomla 3.0.2 Testing site<\/td> <\/tr> <tr> <th style=\"text-align:center; vertical-align:middle\">OpenSearch Description<\/th> <td style=\"text-align:center; vertical-align:middle\">This website is driven by Joomla 3.0.2, and is used as a testing ground for testing Joomla.<\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody> <\/table> <p>Now that we\u2019ve adjusted these settings, how do we see what has changed?<\/p> <p>Go to your Joomla website and perform any search. Then view the source code of the page and you should see something similar to the follow:<\/p> <p><code>&lt;link href=\"https:\/\/domain.com\/component\/search\/?searchword=blog&amp;ordering=newest&amp;searchphrase=all&amp;<br> limit=20&amp;format=<strong>opensearch<\/strong>\"<br> rel=\"search\" title=\"Search Joomla 3.0.2\"<br> type=\"application\/<strong>opensearch<\/strong>description+xml\" \/&gt;<\/code><br>If you access this URL, it will prompt you to download a file named download.osdx. When you open that file with a text editor, such as notepad, you should see something similar to the following:<\/p> <p><code>&lt;?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?&gt;<br> &lt;OpenSearchDescription xmlns=\"https:\/\/a9.com\/-\/spec\/opensearch\/1.1\/\"&gt;<br> &lt;ShortName&gt;<span style=\"background-color: #ffff99;\">Joomla 3.0.2 Testing site<\/span>&lt;\/ShortName&gt;<br> &lt;Description&gt;<span style=\"background-color: #ffff99;\">This website is driven by Joomla 3.0.2, and is used as a testing ground for testing Joomla.<\/span><br> &lt;\/Description&gt;<br> &lt;InputEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;\/InputEncoding&gt;<br> &lt;Image type=\"image\/vnd.microsoft.icon\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"&gt;<br> https:\/\/domain.com\/templates\/protostar\/favicon.ico&lt;\/Image&gt;<br> &lt;Url type=\"application\/opensearchdescription+xml\" rel=\"self\"<br> template=\"https:\/\/domain.com\/component\/search\/?searchword=blog&amp;ordering=newest&amp;searchphrase=all&amp;<br> limit=20&amp;format=opensearch\"\/&gt;<br> &lt;Url type=\"text\/html\"<br> template=\"https:\/\/bradm.rubelix.com\/joomla3.0.2\/index.php?option=com_search&amp;searchword={searchTerms}\"\/&gt;<br> &lt;\/OpenSearchDescription&gt;<\/code><br>We\u2019d love to tell you what all this means, but it honestly isn\u2019t something we\u2019re very familiar with. The take home point is that the Joomla allows you to customize these OpenSearch settings if you need to do so.<\/p> <h3>Search For<\/h3> <p>If you notice in the screenshots above, the search feature includes a <strong>Search for<\/strong> option. This option allows users to search either for <em>All words<\/em>, <em>Any words<\/em>, or <em>Exact Phrase<\/em>.<\/p> <p>We received a question on how to hide this functionality. There does not seem to be a setting in Joomla to do this. To accomplish this however, we can edit our template\u2019s CSS.<\/p> <p>To hide the <em>Search for<\/em> feature, edit your template\u2019s CSS file and add the following code to the bottom:<\/p> <p><code>#searchForm fieldset.phrases {display:none;}<\/code><br>If you\u2019re using the protostar template, this is the file you will need to edit:<\/p> <p><code>templates\/protostar\/css\/template.css<\/code><br>In our testing, using this \u2018work around\u2019 solved the problem. After making the change, be sure to clear your browser\u2019s cache so the update CSS file is used.<\/p> <\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Joomla Search component allows you to do two things \u2013 view statistics about what people are searching for on your site and customize the available search settings.
