I have been following this guide to add search to radiant.

[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Using\_the\_Search\_Extension](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Using_the_Search_Extension)

I would like to add search globally - not only on a specific search  
page. And to do that I have to apply the “search\_extension.diff” patch,  
but when I run it it says:

[chainrea@belong radapp]$ patch -p0 \< search\_extension.diff  
patching file vendor/extensions/search/test/unit/search\_page\_test.rb  
patching file vendor/extensions/search/test/unit/search\_tags\_test.rb  
patching file  
vendor/extensions/search/test/functional/search\_extension\_test.rb  
patching file vendor/extensions/search/test/fixtures/pages.yml  
patching file vendor/extensions/search/test/fixtures/page\_parts.yml  
patching file vendor/extensions/search/app/models/search\_page.rb  
Hunk #2 succeeded at 72 (offset 8 lines).  
patching file vendor/extensions/search/app/models/search\_tags.rb  
patching file vendor/extensions/search/search\_extension.rb  
Hunk #1 FAILED at 9.  
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED – saving rejects to file  
vendor/extensions/search/search\_extension.rb.rej

I kind of hoped it did not matter, but when i add the search tag on a  
page it displays:

undefined tag `search’

(I also ran “rake production db:migrate:extensions” after the patch was  
applied)

</div>

Now suddenly it is even more broken - it now says:

undefined tag `form’

I then deleted the search extension folder.

Re-unpacked the tar.gz file - renamed the folder to search and ran rake,  
but it still says:

undefined tag `form’

Okay now the basic search is working again. It seems some time has to  
pass before it kind of resets.

But I would still like global search and live search, what seems to be  
the issue with the “search\_extension.diff” patch?

The newest Search Extension code is in GitHub:

However, it removes the live search functionality. You might want to use  
the download link and try it out anyways, because it should accomplish  
your other goals.

Any help? I’m getting a bit desperate? ☹

Also, here are my notes on using an older version of the Search  
Extension. This might be helpful to you.

$ cd PATH/TO/PROJECT  
$ svn export  
[http://svn.radiantcms.org/radiant/tags/rel\_0-6-6/extensions/search](http://svn.radiantcms.org/radiant/tags/rel_0-6-6/extensions/search)  
vendor/extensions/search

Add a new tag to  
/PATH/TO/PROJECT/vendor/extensions/search/app/models/search\_page.rb

### 2008-05-21 DP added new tag to check if a search has been submitted

desc %{ Checks if a query was passed to the browser.}  
tag ‘search:if\_submitted’ do |tag|  
unless @query == “”  
tag.expand  
end  
end

Be sure to set the Page Type to “Search” or else loading the page will  
fail with an error about a missing tag.

The following is a good default Search page…

\<r:search:form label=“Search for:”/\>

## Searching '' returned no results.

## Searching '' returned:

You can prevent pages from being returned by adding a ‘no-search’  
page-part to them.

The above tag \<r:unless\_content part=“no-search”\> is used to hide all  
pages with a page-part of ‘no-search’ in the search results. This can  
result in searches that return “Your search for ‘X’ returned the  
following pages:” with no results below, but its better than showing  
hidden pages.
