    The PostNuke Search Module for ages didn't give me the peace - it remained constructed in this way that results of searching from each module are already delivered formated. Every module differently.
    Into this way without the modyfication of core PostNuke files or oryginal third party modules files it isn't possible to modify the presentation of results. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to look for different way to deliver results from modules to search modul?
    Whether would be better (giving more control over the presentation of results) delivering by modules only na array of results? It would be possible then easily to format such an array in the template.
    Such an modyfication should not create too great problems and it could at first concern only core modules. On the present stage in pn800 probably only search module isn't templated. I think its time to change it. icon_wink

    And I apologise for my English. I hope that I expressed myself clearly enough. icon_smile

    Sorry, but this won't work as expected.

    Each module would deliver a different set of data, eg. the array from Downloads will be completely different from Pagesetter or pnForum and it is impossible for a generic Search module to create the correct output in this case. IMHO this *must* be done be the modules. If you put all the output into the Search modules result template you would have to change this every time you (de-)install a module.

    To minimize the difference we can only suggest a layout (using li, no table, unified CSS classes and so on) and as long as the search results output is templated, this should do the job. If the module is not templated (eg PagEd), you are lost.
