With WP’s default search – no. But you can with this plugin. Select “Lucene” or “Mysql Fulltext” (Zend Lucene is a little faster) as the search engine, check the “post meta” module and select the meta fields you want to search in the module settings. Then re-index You’ll also have to edit the models/spider.php from … Read more
For your second example, I think you’re initiating your Loop incorrectly. You’re declaring $query, which hasn’t been globalized? // Search is working, querying is not global $query_string; // required $posts = query_posts($query_string.’&posts_per_page=3&cat=$catid’); while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); Try omitting $query from your Loop initiation? // Search is working, querying is not global $query_string; // … Read more
Relevanssi can be configured to search in author names. It doesn’t search in author descriptions.
The error seams to come from another source, not your query. You don’t use wp_options table. So maybe skipping $wpdb->show_errors(); $wpdb->print_error(); would make things even work. But probably there is an error somewhere else. To get an overview how to create AJAX search helper, you can check here: http://www.wpcodelab.com/archives/create-a-custom-ajax-search-for-wordpress

I believe something like this would do the trick. EDIT My code assumes the querystring value is the post_type, not an integer like your form field. Also, your form field is named ‘cat’, I think WordPress has that reserved, at least I remember having conflicts when I last used ‘cat’ in a querystring. EDIT 2 … Read more
You can use pre_get_posts hoot to filter the search query to selected sectors only, something like this: function Search_with_in_a_tax( &$query ) { if ( is_search() && isset($_GET[‘sector_array’])) { $tax_query = array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘news’, ‘terms’ => $_GET[‘sector_array’], ‘field’ => ‘term_id’, ) ); //turn it into a WP_Tax_Query object $tax_query = new WP_Tax_Query($tax_query); $query->set(“tax_query”, $tax_query); … Read more
I’m assuming you’ve used the method in the question linked to and are using the restrict_manage_posts filter. add_action( ‘restrict_manage_posts’, ‘my_search_box’ ); function my_search_box() { // only add search box on desired custom post_type listings global $typenow; if ($typenow == ‘product’) { //On custom post type ‘product’ admin page. //Add code for search box here } … Read more
A simple hack. Edit: putting the featured post ids in an array and checking that array in the main loop. global $post; $post_IDs = array(); foreach($post_info as $post_info_obj) { $post_IDs[] = $post_info_obj->ID; } $featured_IDs = array(); $query1 = new WP_Query(array(‘meta_key’=>’sticky’,’meta_value’=>’featured’,’post__in’=>$post_IDs)); while($query1->have_posts()) { $query1->the_post(); $featured_IDs[] = $post->ID; get_property_info_li($post); } First thing do to in the main … Read more
On your search form you use NULL (as a string) for Any selection. When the form is submitted it is sent as a string with the contents of the word null. Your isset then sees that, its set and sets the session to null (as a string). Which in turn messes up your query. To … Read more
