Hi,

Is there a way for the search to return all results in the database? It would be useful for my site RewardsDB if users could list all available 'products'.

Hi Andrew,

Yes - you can do this by setting $config_resultsPerPage to a suitably large number in config.php, for example:

Hi Andrew,

To do that, you can use the "Begins With" search modifier (it is only in the code for backwards compatibility, it is not actually used any more). You can therefore do a query for "bw:" (without the quotes) and it will list all products in the database as the search result. To create a direct link to this from your home page, do something like this:

<a href='search.php?q=bw:'>All Products</a>

That should do the trick!
