TYPO3 'Database' Search Extension

Question

I´d like to implement something like a store finder by ZIP-code in my TYPO3 website. I know there are Extensions that let users enter a ZIP-code/adress and find the nearest location but that's not what I´m after.

We deliver to our customers and follow fixed delivery plans. I want a user to enter his ZIP-code and the website should answer with one (or more) snippets with the delivery tables for the matching driver (or drivers) .

TD;DR How do I search a multitude of content elements in TYPO3 and display only those with matching substrings?

Answer 1

Maybee just use Content Object "CONTENT" and use "select" in Typoscript:

And write your own select statement like:

"where = (title LIKE '%ZIP%')"

An example, in german, but you will understand the typoscript part:
