Our search functionality is working great. The only issue we’ll see is if our search results return more than 8 items. We only show the first 8 items, but our link to the second page does not keep our search term. We need to finish integrating our pagination with our search results.
Example Code
$pagination .= "s=".$search."&";
if (!empty($search)) {
$limit_results = "s=".urlencode(htmlspecialchars($search))."&";
} else
Additional Suggestions
- Display the title along with the thumbnail on the catalog listing pages.
- Search in more than just the title so someone could search by author or movie star.
- Add a dropdown of categories to the search form and allow users to narrow their search.
- Create advanced search feature such as the use of a wildcard within the search term.
- Allow the user to choose how many items they would like to have displayed on each page.
