Searching Pages, rather than Posts

I have asked teh same question, cept, I am offering to hack and release. I don’t want to step on any toes, and I am glad to help. If any one can shed some light, that woudl be great.

see my post here:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic.php?id=24501

since this doesn’t look to be a priority for the developers, plugin writers?

Yes: any information about the internals of current search and how it relates to Pages would be appreciated. I, too, would be glad to help on anything within my capabilities: and a bit further.

ok, I found this: https://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2004/06/07/advanced-contextual-search-for-wordpress/

But… works for pre 1.5. So, I am rewriting the setup and query to a) install for 1.5 ::DONE:: and b) rewrite query to search multiple tables. Out of respect, I will release back to the original authors and let them post, but the good news is, an answer is on the way!

Update: The install is done. Working out query bugs now.

great! keep us posted!

Ta Da! FULLTEXT search can be found here. Compatible with 1.5. You can use the above to search in posts and it does not ignore pages.

Have fun!

I installed it and so far, it seems to be working well. A couple of items though. The next link at the bottom of the results page is linked to search-beta.php instead of search.php

I had to give relative links to the search page as I have it setup a bit different as part of my theme….

not too sure if it is stripping html tags properly though….

Ok, fixed the search-beta issue. Thanks. Looking into the html issue. Can you describe the problem?

it looks like when i converted my post tables to 1.5 it carried over some html tags in the excerpt…

After I edit them out it appears fine.

Now if I can just get BAStats to find these keywords….

Anyone know where I can get this plugin?
