Dan requested I make it possible to link directly to search results for passing around to friends. Making functionality more easily accessible seemed like a good thing to do, so the controller now responds correctly to ajax and regular browser requests. Naturally had to add a work around for IE – life would be easier if nobody used it. But, needs must as the devil drives. The result of all this is you can now access perform searches like this:
http://booko.com.au/books/search?q=permaculture
Nice one… Pushing the friendship, but is it possible to have it do the smarts for say multible word search eg
search?q=permaculture+sustainability
Completes an “and” search so I only get results with both words. How do I go about doing an “or” search so I get results for both words not a combination ? 🙂
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I’m not opposed to adding features to Booko on request – but this one may be difficult. Booko actually passes the search query through to the Amazons and two other online book stores for searches, then merges the results. So, all 4 sites that are searched would have to support the search syntax – ie “AND” and “OR”.
I’ll keep it mind though. The first step would be to check all sites to see if they’d support such syntax.
