Search collections

With Perch we are able to create a search form that can search list and detail from a particular path, e.g.

'from-path'=>'/job-vacancies',

As Collections are not page specific, is it still possible to create a search in the same way?

The path restriction wouldn't apply to collections.

So we won't be able to search specific Collections like we do with 'list and detail' regions?

Rewinding... what are you trying to achieve? What's the big picture?

Thanks. I want to have a search form that only searches the Job Vacancies in the site, as seen here: https://www.arthuredward.co.uk/available-roles/

And Job Vacancies is your collection?

That would make sense - I'll add something to do that.

Thanks, yes, currently it's a list and detail but I wanted to upgrade to Runway for the Collections feature and wanted to check it would be possible.

Can you do this yet, I have a similar requirement for searching a collection of job vacancies?
