Hi, I am a student at the University of Kansas. I am putting a database online and am trying to customise the search interface?

Does anyone know how to customise the search interface? Right now, FMP 5 give me default search interface that includes all the fields in the database. I would like to limit that. So far, I can only change the layout of the data after you performed the search.

Thanks for the help.

The seecret is CDML language and Custom Web Publishing.

If you're interested in aesthetics, instant web publishing can't help you.

However, if you're only interested in limiting the fields that are displayed ... you can create a new layout, containing only the desired fields. Then, you specify that you want to use THAT layout in Search (File --> Sharing --> Web Companion --> Set up views --> Search).

Hope that helps.
