CakePHP 1.3xx Search Form Query Plugin ( w/ MySQL ) Tutorial w/ Code Examples
Why Stack Overflow recommends it

What it is
A 10-minute screencast by Jason Wydro that walks through the code needed to add the CakeDC Search plugin to a CakePHP 1.3 app with MySQL. It covers the plugin, model, controller and view code, using CakeDC's sample search application, and ends with a working paginated search query.

I'm glad to let people know I found my way to use cakedc search plugin. First I had to closely follow this tutorial for 1.3 (at first I thought it won't do for 2.1, but it works like charm.) [this video] AND downloaded 1.3 sample code from cakedc [LINK] to make sense of video tutorial. (tried to run it following readme instructions but got error Fatal error: Class 'Dispatcher' not found in C:\wamp\www\search\webroot\index.php on line 83 so chose to just get code snippets and have them work in 2.1) Back to my project: 1.- Downloaded search version 2.1 from cakedc [LINK] , file CakeDC-search-2.1-0-g834f79f.zip. 2.- Placed all files on /plugins/Search/ folder 3.- Added CakePlugin::load('Search'); to

Arilia, can you please point me to a good tutorial which can get me started on cakeDC search. so far, I can't quite seem to understand how it works, and without insulting the developers who created cakeDC search, the documentation seems to lack the correct grammar to a point which I do not understand it, apart from being very brief. I have watched this guy's tutorial [this video] , which is better than nothing, but still not quite there yet.
