[Forum] How to make 'Search Single Content Type' the default tab on Advanced Search page?

How can I make the 'Search Single Content Type' the default tab on Advanced Search page?

[Lynne]

Modify the navbar template and add "?search_type=1" to the end of the search.php url.

<li><a href="search.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}?search_type=1" accesskey="4">{vb:rawphrase advanced_search}</a></li>

Thanks Lynne, This helps a ton!

What template do I edit to make this same change to the search link on the search results window? It appears next to the Home icon (area of the crumb trail).

See this page for an example:

Thanks,

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

Just did this trick, and it worked great! Now when we use the simple search box, it actually finds results. And when you use advanced search, it defaults to the single-search-type, which gets results and lets you show results as threads.
