Indexing

All filters are layouts that you can override. The search input box uses the tcppsearch.php layout and can be overridden as well (more layout information in the Layout overrides section).

Removed in 3.0
New positioning
Use the new and more flexible way to position the index on the page
Top filter panel

New
Article last

Search Show or hide a search field on the page (the search will look through names and searchable fields).
Multiple keywords allowed (the query will look for any of the words added to the search field)
Note Links A..E and fields added with the content plugin Add Key Content Fields are NOT searchable.
Joomla 3.7+ custom fields are searchable with one restriction for multiple value fields: values are searched, not the text associated to them, therefore values are found if they are identical to their text
New
Search label
Show or hide the label for the search field. To change, override the language key: COM_TROMBINOSCOPEEXTENDED_SEARCH
Search options Show advanced search options under the search field.

The users will be able to fine tune their search with all words (fields must contain all the words present), any words (fields may contain any of the words) and exact phrase (fields must contain the exact sentence).

Example tada todo in the search field will search for:

  • all words: tada and todo
  • any word: tada or todo
  • exact phrase: 'tada todo'

Note The extension does not output strict matches. For instance, when looking for 'todo', the search will return contacts which contain 'todo' but also contacts which contain words containing 'todo'.

Default option Determine which option (all / any / exact) you want to make available as default
