Hi, I’ve followed Paul Morgan’s post on “How to Configure Full Text searches”. With this help, I was able to successfully configure full text searches in no time. I didn’t’ see this question asked on a previous post.. I would like to somehow “integrate” my DMX module’s search feature with the built-in DNN search so that I only have one search box on my site. Is this possible? Thanks in advance. Curtis

Hello, I was aware of this search integration capability for a long time, and have been meaning to set this up on a client's portal, which I just did and tested. Works great. However, I also found this inadvertently exposed content to unauthenticated users. I'm not suggesting this is a DMX issue, but a scenario easily overlooked. My client has DMX module on a hidden page which is used to make files available for download to unauthenticated users by sending them a link to the page. What I discovered when I did a portal search as an unauthenticated user (after setting up the integration) is that these files (predictably) were returned during a portal search, which is clearly not desireable. I have removed the search integration until I implement an alternative mechanism for the hidden page/module. Hope this helps someone. Rob Ralston

The above sounds correct. Using a 'child DMX' somewhere with content available for all users to download but then hiding it from view is definitely not how it was intended to be used. DMX content is portal wide and by design can be made available in various places. Search is one of them. Thanks for the heads up on that Rob ...

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
