Hi,
I want to use AjaxSearch Snippet to unable the Search on my Site….
What I desire is I should have a drop down list, based on the page tittle the user selects from the list, it should search in all the documents upto the parent…
Is this possible using AjaxSearch?????
if yes, then how can i implement it.

There’s very little information anywhere about debugging modx.
I had AS_showResults=`0` in my left column form call, search results still kept showing two sets of results.
It was not until I chunked the search results snippet call that the double results disappeared. This is why I suggested emphasizing the two ways of including search results — for reasons unbeknownst to us different people will have different experiences.
Thank you, Tom

Tom
Glad you figured it out. I don’t know why that was the key in your case, but in mine and in others who’ve used the same steps I did it didn’t seem to be an issue. I don’t use a chunk on my results page, I simply call the snippet, and as you can see from my site it works just fine. Make sure of course that in your sidebar snippet call you have AS_showResults=`0`

Even the very best tutorials/books can only go so far and include so much. In my opinion, the best learning comes from trying, failing, debugging, asking questions, experimenting debugging some more, and sharing what you’re learning. I don’t omit anything intentionally, if I know it I include it, and the comments section is great because others come along and fill in the gaps and share what they know and are learning
