Search box – multiple fields?

#1454

Hey there

The search box only searches titles & post_content, then you use the filters to refine the areas you are looking in.

I’ve been thinking on adding something like this in, but that would be a lot of work and I would probably have to set up caching of all your posts & pages to do this..

You could use a plugin like Relevanssi in conjunction with this plugin – this kind of plugin (which you probably know) powers the search box itself, and allows you to search taxonomy terms using only the search box (I’m not sure about custom fields)…

Hope that helps..!

Hi Richard, you can use shortcodes (http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter-pro/docs/#docs-search-form-as-a-shortcode)

RE the search template, there is no necessarily good templates to just give you, because remember, the template is part of your theme, and must work with the HTML & CSS of your theme – therefore I cannot provide a search template that will work for everyone..

The best thing to do is to go through your theme folder and see what templates are there, then you can try changing the filename for the template in S&F settings page – for example you could try the following:

category.php, archive.php, index.php, but there will be many more in your theme folder. If you have any more questions please start a new thread.

Hey Ton hows it going?

I had another user report this issue and it was to do with the plugin Custom Post Type switcher…

There is a filter to exclude post types I believe so ensure you exclude the post type search-filter-widget and you should be good to go!

Let me know if you have any further issues.

Thanks

Hey Vartan, assuming you got it working ok by now, let me know if any further issues.

Hey Richard

Glad thats working 🙂

I think there is a filter for the post type switcher plugin where you can include/exclude post types – so I would try maybe excluding the search from from the filter (it uses a custom post type – search-filter-widget)…

Re the feature request, please add it here with the others: https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/forum/search-filter-pro/feature-requests/

One question though, why not just use more meaningful names? For example you can choose the name of a category or taxonomy, so what is displayed is defined by you, the admin, and for post types, why not change the name to a more suitable one when registering the post type?

(I’m sure there are reasons just curious)

OK will have to look into this…

Sorry to ask, but can you try disabling all other plugins and testing?

I’ve heard this issue reported once before, and “publishing” a search form was fine, but when “updating” the post lost its post type…

Hey Richard

I don’t think this an issue created by any new updates as there is no modifications to the code relating to the widgets…

I just did a test here on a few different setups and all widget areas worked fine…
Dare I ask if you ensured that you refreshed your widgets page after saving your form (and was therefore seeing an outdated dropdown)?? 😉

If I am completely wrong on the above, can you let me know if using a shortcode in at textwidget area works for you?

Thanks

ajax on pagination

Sorry, just realised you mentioned that you disabled ajax…

One thing to note is, for your pagination to update, your pagination links must be inside the ajax container.. That means the html for your pagination will be fetched using ajax too and therefore update.

Also note, that the search form itself must not be inside the ajax container.

Let me know!
