Search Only

[Being]

Hello and thanks for a very useful component.

I would like use Collector as a searchable archive only, ie. not displaying the complete list, just the item that was searched for. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,

No, this is not possible.
What would be the use ?
If you make a research, there can be several items that correspond.
Can you explain how you will see that ?

Thanks Steevo,

My client makes products (bags, deck chairs etc) out of old sails (from yachts, hang gliders, windsurfers etc). Each product is sold with the serial number of the sail on it and we would like to enable customers to search the database for the serial number so that they can read about the history of that particular sail. Over time there will be hundreds of sails so we don't really want them all to be visible.

I have searched for Joomla extensions that would be able to do this but only Collector seems to come close. Do you know of other similar components?

Hi,

No I don't know other similar components. That's why I started develop Collector.
In fact, you would display only search results.
I think that could be an option in parameters component.
I take note of that.
