If the search field is implemented as a widget, this can be done via the administration interface. Just navigate to Appearance > Widgets and drag the search widget from the widget area to the “Available Widgets” pane. If the search field is hard-coded into the theme, it might be easier to edit the CSS rather … Read more
I came up with a solution for your first question. i.e the tax metabox that only suggests terms from existing terms list but does not allow you to add new terms. The solution is jQuery based and modifies the default behavior of the tags (i.e non heirarchical taxonomies) meta box. Limitation: Currently it only allows … Read more
You can’t achieve this easily with WP’s built-in search system. Even if you managed to build a complicated query that pulls data from the user table, it would be incredibly slow. Search Unleashed had this functionality, but I’m not sure about compatibility with WP 3.2. I used it in the past as inspiration to add … Read more
Good news and more good news! First – all of the code related to WordPress itself and its repositories resides in version control system (Subversion). Among other things that makes publicly available sites with all code in plain sight: http://core.svn.wordpress.org/ http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/ http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/ One not so obvious result of that – if you can see it, … Read more

Matching Latin Characters with Regular Expressions I just had my mind blown over at Stack Overflow.

Assuming starts_with is the name of the argument we want to use, we can filter posts_where to add a WHERE clause limiting results to … Read more
In WP_Query() there is a ‘post__not_in’ argument where you can exclude specific post ID’s. You would create a new WP_Query inside of your search.php and use the current $query_args, then add on your ‘post__not_in’. If you wanted to make it more dynamic, you could also build in some post meta where you could do a … Read more

To modify the search rewrite rules you can hook into the search_rewrite_rules filter. You can either add the extra rewrite rules that match post types yourself, or you can change the default “search rewrite structure” to also include the post type and then re-generate the rules (there are four rules: one standard, one with paging … Read more
