I have created a search function for eCMS. It will search for posts, pages, files individually or do an entire search for all sections. There is a limitation of searching for files/posts by author that I am still deciding on the best approach to deal with. One option is to inner join database tables but I really don't like doing that. Another is to include the actual name of the author in the database along with the id number. I would just have to update the various tables if the nickname is changed. There is also the issue of many users preferring to use unicode names which is only a very minor issue. There is a very good chance no one reads these posts but I like to have it for my own personal use as a sort of timeline of my process here. As always MORE TO COME!
