[resolved] How to Create Link that Searches for Specific Term (3 posts)

    I am working on an antique gallery website. In some cases where I have multiple works by an artist. So for example, I have a page with a work by Hans Erni, and I know there are more, I'd like to put a search term at the bottom of a "post" that says, for example: "Search for More Works By Hans Erni" - this would contain a link with code underlying it that would automatically search for the term "Hans Erni" - any suggestions on how to implement this.

    I know I'm thinking like a static html web page designer, which I've been for years, so any suggestions are appreciated. The basic aim is to make visitors aware that there is "related material" avaialble!

    It all depends on how you will organize your gallery website. You could place a link "More Works by Hans Emi" with a call for list of works via e.g. (using WP pretty permalinks)
    - tags: http://yoursite.com/tag/hans-emi or
    - category: http://yoursite.com/category/hans-emi
    - or just plain http://yoursite.com/hans-emi

    Thanks! I'm feeling really "Duh!" right now. I also tried just doing a simple search and copying the link generated on the page and that works as well. I've never had a site with an integrated search before... used picosearch in the past!
