    Hello. I need help how to search database entries ( records) just by one criteria.
    I have several fields in database ( name, surname, city etc…).
    in my search database page on my site when i try to search i have to select some criteria (name, surname, city etc…) and then to enter what i am searching for. I want just search by city for example, and not to be shown other options ( name, surname, etc…).
    Is it possible?

    No, i still have problem.
    [pdb_list search=true suppress=true] i need that on search page, and i need to have option that users on my website can search just by one criteria. i will be more detailed..i fix laptops, and every laptop have serial…and i want to have page on website where user can search for his laptop just by entering serial number ( not name, surname…)…i need simple search form with [pdb_list search=true suppress=true] command

    Can you say why the suggested solution doesn’t work? The article linked explains how to set up a custom template so that you end up with a single search field that only searches on one field…that sounds like what you’re looking for.

    Yes, if your question isn’t a continuation of an existing topic, it’s best to open a new one…also if your topic gets marked “resolved” and it really isn’t, it is usually best to open a new topic so it’s more likely to be seen.
