[SM-DEVEL] Advanced search (kiss)

[Brad D. <buc...@us...>]

With all the talk about an advanced search page I thought I would try
something really simple, and it worked. Here's what I did to SM 1.4.3:

1) cp 1.5cvs/src/search.php 1.4cvs/src/search_adv.php

2) cp 1.5cvs/functions/imap_asearch.php 1.4cvs/functions

3) added a wee bit of code to src/search.php near line 406 where it displays
the Search Form
--------------- code ---------------
if (ereg("search_adv.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
  $otherSearchLink = "search.php";
  $otherLinkName = _("Basic Search");
} else {
  $otherSearchLink = "search_adv.php";
  $otherLinkName = _("Advanced Search");
}
if ($mailbox) {
  $otherSearchLink .= "?mailbox=" . $mailbox;
}
------------------------------------

4) then I modified the html_tag call immediately following the above code to
show a link to the search_adv.php page as follows:
--------------- code ---------------
echo html_tag( 'div', '<b>' . _("Current Search") . '</b>' .
   ' (<a href="' . $otherSearchLink . '" title="' . $otherLinkName .
   '">' . $otherLinkName . '</a>)', 'left' ) . "\n"
   . '<form action="search.php" name="s">'
/* more code remains unchanged... */
------------------------------------

5) then I did a similar thing to the new search_adv.php page

6) I changed the action point of the search_adv.php page to be itself rather
than search.php

It werks! Does anyone see any caveats with doing it like this??? I haven't run
it through a complete testing phase, but initially it works fine.
