Hi. 

In the product section we have "Search Variables" field -> http://www.seblod.com/products/923 

I would be great if somebody from devs or moderators do a little explanation how to use this field and in which situations it would be more opportunely.

Because it is not so clear from description of field:

---------------------------

Field that adds hidden fields based on specified field names.
Useful to propagate values (from URL) after search redirection.

---------------------------

Hi Jeka,

the search variable plugin is used in search form view to add hidden input in the search based on names you add in it's parameter.

For example, when you add the variable "&tmpl=component" in an url to display a search type in a modal box without the joomla template, you have to add the search variable plugin in the search form with the parameter "tmpl".

This will add an hidden input "tmpl" in the search to catch the tmpl variable of the url and propaget it each time you peform the search.


regards.
