Search

Although many small sites won’t need it, every page on Glass is searchable.

To use search:

• Make a page with the path search
• In your template for that page, create a form with one input with name=”q”
• Iterate over the search hits in your template

Here is a very minimal example:

{% block content %}
<form method="get" action="/search">
<input type="search" name="q" value="{{ request.GET.q }}"><input type="submit" />
</form>

{% for result in results.hits.hits %}
 <h1><a href=/{{ result.path }}?q={{ request.GET.q }}>{{ result.obj.content.title }}</a></h1>
 {% for h in  result.highlight.searchable_text %}
    {{ h|striptags }}
    {% if not forloop.last %}...{% endif %}
 {% endfor %}
 <hr/>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

Search is backed by Elasticsearch and complex searching is available. If you need this please contact Issac for info.
