This works well but I'd like to refine it more. I want it only to search in LINKTITLE. LINKTITLES are unique so there will only be one link, and I would like the search to open it using the custom template detailsdog.tpl.
To construct a search URL, what you do is take the input fields submitted in the search template (in this case you want to do an advanced search with just the title filled in) and turn them into url parameters with your desired values filled in.
. To use the custom search result template just tack &custom=yes&TID=searchdog onto the search url.
I don't quite understand this bit, but I have a feeling it isn't quite what I am trying to do.
Yes, detailsdog.tpl is a details template.
On this page www.thecanaandog.co.uk/link...&custom=yes&TID=detailsdog there is a pedigree. If you click on, say, Sivan Me Shaar Hagai that searches titles, great! But it shows the result on the search results page (logical!) and you then have to click to go to the details page.
I want it so that when you click on the name it searches and takes you straight to the details page.
Equally if there is no result for that search I want the continue to take you back to the page you clicked from.

A URL option to make it jump to the details page of the first result, and then a returnto value that overrides the after search failure redirect (not sure if the latter will require any change or just the url parameter). I can do this for $60. Please let me know by email if interested.

I LOVE this script!
OK, now I have a link for a search...
search.php?filled=1&whichtype=links&condition=like&search={LINKPARENT1}
This works well but I'd like to refine it more. I want it only to search in LINKTITLE. LINKTITLES are unique so there will only be one link, and I would like the search to open it using the custom template detailsdog.tpl.
Possible?
TIA

Thanks Paul.
If detailsdog is a details template you want to use, you'll need to add a custom search template that links to detailsdog with
