Make sure you update Seamus to V3.1.1 or higher and WebControls to V3.0.10 or higher before updating this module.  In addition to the algorithm being modified to return more relevant results, there are quite a few new settings and features in this release.


There are new module settings for Highlight Keyword and Default Category.  Selecting Highlight Keyword will highlight all words on the results page that were typed into the search box.  Selecting a category from the Default Category drop down list, in the module settings, will limit the search to items tagged with that category.  Leave it set to "None Specified" to disable this feature.

There are new tokens for [GROUP] and [NOTRELATED].  The Group token can be used to display the item's group within the search results.  The Not Related token is used if you wish to have a link in the search results that will disassociate said result with the query.  Note: Only Administrators will see this link.

The API feature has moved from the module settings to the Manage Search Providers screen.  This was done so it will be easier to add new providers in the future.

Navigating to the Manage Search Providers screen.

If User Chosen Search Type is selected in the module settings then the menu shown above is available to you.  Select Manage Search Providers from the list.

A new page will load and display as shown above.  Here you can create a Custom Provider for the User Chosen Search Type or edit an existing one.  If you wish to use API functionality then you need to edit one or more of the Existing Providers.  Below is an example for Google.

In this case, the Controller Class must be set to Venexus.VenexusSearch.WebSearchProviders.Google,VenexusWebSearchProviders and the Controller Options to key=YOUR KEY, as shown in the example above.  Examples for Yahoo! and Live are different and can be found in the documentation.  The module can be downloaded here.
