    Hi,

    Thanks and kudos for an amazing plugin!

    When I make a search for a word on the month calendar view, if I leave the date field blank the search is made only on the current month, or I have to specify a month.
    Is there any way the search could be made on all events, and return a results page as a list ?

    Thanks,

  • I would also like to search by location, not just event titles.
    Is this possible with this plugin?
    thank you

    Hi,

    Thanks for using TEC!

    The month view only searches in the current month as it can only ever show one month at a time.

    Use the list view to search for events farther in the future.

    And for a location search that is part of the Pro plugin.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Thanks, I understand this of course. I would have expected the search results to return in list form, which is the only thing that makes sense if the are more than one.

    But regardless, the behaviour of the search in list mode is very strange in a number of respects:

    1) It searches only in upcoming events, not in past events

    2) Say I’m looking for “concert”. It finds nothing. If I click the previous events link, it still finds nothing (while there are past events with that name). Oh, BTW, the “not found” strings are not translated.

    3) From then on, the search argument stays in the box, I can’t remove it whatever I do, and I stay stuck on this “no results” screen. If I empty the box and refresh, “concert” is still there in the box. Only way solve the issue is to click on some other link on the site.

    Unfortunately I can’t show you this because the site is still in development and closed, but I’ve had to simply disable the search. Not a major hassle, the theme’s search will find the relevant events along with other posts, but I think it should be looked at.

    Thanks,

    How strange about the item staying in the box. If you can provide a live link in the future we would like to take a look and see if it is an error.

    As for the search most of our users want it to search just future events as that is something people can attend and not interested in them find Past Events as easily.

    Of course that is not for everyone, but that is what the system is built for right now.

    If you would like to request that feature please head to our UserVoice Page and add your own or upvote that feature as they will increase the chances of it being added to a future version.
