Search Form Integration

Search Form Integration Method

By placing a search form on existing sites, you can direct users to Fess search results. This example explains placing Fess at https://search.n2sm.co.jp/ and adding a search form to each page of an existing site.

Search Form

Place the following code where you want the search form on your page:

<form id="searchForm" method="get" action="https://search.n2sm.co.jp/search/">
<input id="query" type="text" name="q" maxlength="1000" autocomplete="off">
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search">
</form>

To match your site design, add class names with the class attribute and adjust with CSS as needed. Change the https://search.n2sm.co.jp/ URL to the URL of your Fess server.

Suggest Feature

You can also configure the suggest feature for the search form. To configure, add the following code before </body>:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://search.n2sm.co.jp/js/jquery-3.6.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://search.n2sm.co.jp/js/suggestor.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
  $('#query').suggestor({
    ajaxinfo : {
      url : 'https://search.n2sm.co.jp/api/v1/suggest-words',
      fn :  ["_default", "content", "title"],
      num : 10
    },
    boxCssInfo: {
      border: "1px solid rgba(82, 168, 236, 0.5)",
      "-webkit-box-shadow":
        "0 1px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0 3px 2px 0px rgba(82, 168, 236, 0.2)",
      "-moz-box-shadow":
        "0 1px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0 3px 2px 0px rgba(82, 168, 236, 0.2)",
      "box-shadow":
        "0 1px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1), 0 3px 2px 0px rgba(82, 168, 236, 0.2)",
      "background-color": "#fff",
      "z-index": "10000"
    },
    minterm: 2,
    adjustWidthVal : 11,
    searchForm : $('#searchForm')
  });
});
</script>

If your site already uses jQuery, you do not need to add the jQuery script element.

Specify a value for “z-index” that does not overlap with other elements.
