Copying search results. Results disappear when clicked anywhere on page

[mhmmdrzaei07]

Hi there,

Two issues that I cannot resolve for https://geraldhannon.com/articles/ — passcode to get into the site is: gerald

1. we cant copy the text that is the search results. I think this is being disabled through javascript is there a way to make the text copy able?

2. when you click outside the box anywhere on the page, the results disappear. can we somehow make the results stay?

Hi,

1. Try turning off the scrollbar script right here. As far as I know, that is using pointer event prevention because of scrolling. It should resolve the selections issue.

2. You can turn that behaviour of here: https://i.imgur.com/bGBFDHI.png

Hi there,

I still cannot copy text — it seems its somehow disabled and what you recommended did not work. is there another way to approach this ?

Also wondering, is there a way to have all the results show on the page on load — then users can use search function to narrow down their search?

thanks,

For the text selection, try maybe this custom CSS:

.asp_content * {
    user-select: all !important;
}

It should force the correct selection behaviour on all contents within the search bar.

For the results, the auto-populate feature should do the trick. It lets you display a number of results on the initial page load.
