The search rewrite rule only captures the pattern search/(.+)/?$. A request to search/ matches the root pages rule, so WordPress tries to find a page with that slug. You could create a page at that location and load a template via a filter, or, you could add a rewrite rule that just does an empty …
As you asked you have multiple options. It just depends a bit what you’re looking for. So let’s see what’s in the basket: Update the Plugin. – Either kindly ask the developer of the plugin to do so or do it your own. Often asking the developer is the best bet because he already knows …
This line in $wp_query might be of interest: $where = apply_filters_ref_array(‘posts_where’, array( $where, &$this ) ); You could probably use a filter to toss in an additional post_type=”post”. Something like: function search_where( $where, &$wp_query ) { if ( $wp_query->is_search ){ where .= ” AND post_type=”post””; } return $where; } add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘search_where’, 10, 2);
Figured this out by using this code: function override_is_tax_on_post_search($query) { global $pagenow; $qv = &$query->query_vars; if ($pagenow == ‘edit.php’ && isset($qv[‘taxonomy’]) && isset($qv[‘s’])) { $query->is_tax = true; } } } add_filter(‘parse_query’,’override_is_tax_on_post_search’);
You can create a template file in your theme that is used to display search results. It is called search.php. If it does not exist the index.php file is displayed. At the top of that file, or wherever you want, you can place extra code that queries your special posts (depending on how you saved …
If you’d try to do this, you’d end up with querying a maybe pretty big load of data, which should be avoided. Best would be to pre-collect the data in some global (array) $prefix_meta_box_values and use this later for front-end output. You could also populate some array on save_post hook. Simply grap the values with …
The output of search results is controlled by search.php template (or generic index.php if it’s not present). And search is technically a usual WordPress loop with s query argument, so any snippets that apply to loops can be used to tweak search.
Don’t know what’s wrong with that link but you can see an answer to a similar question how to filter post listing (in WP dashboard posts listing) using a custom field (search functionality) ? Its just what you are looking for.
Just change the action attribute of your search form in your theme, for example; <form action=”<?php echo home_url( $GLOBALS[‘wp’]->request ); ?>” method=”get”> This will dynamically output the URL of the current request, so that when a user searches, the query string is simply appended to it, rather than pointing back at the root.
I had that error pop up a few times recently as well. From what I can tell it’s a side effect of the local dev environment. More reading: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-30-warning-fopenhttpabccomwp-cronphpdoing_wp_cron http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11831
