Hi,
DeleteCurrently query string is not supported yet.
How can you set the plugin that search only shows pages an posts that have the tag name.
ReplyDeleteI have checked tags in the settings, and removed the ticks next to search in title en search in content.
Hi, You can only set search in tag and post type to post and page. Then someone will search for tag the posts/pages will comes up with that tag. Currently you can not limit the search to posts/pages those have particular tag. Also i kindly request you to please post on forum for furture queries for better support.

Hi John, Well this is kind of feature request on which I am already working. Please open thread on forum so I can provide your solution for now.
DeleteHi there,
ReplyDeletei have been using your plugin and it works well. But now i am adding a multilingual features in the website and it is able to translate a taxonomy name into Vietnamese as well. For example: 'apple' into 'tao'.
And so i tried to do a search to a certain taxonomy (in Vietnamese word, i.e.: 'tao'). It does not give me any result. But if i searched the English word ('apple'), only then it gave me the result. I was wondering if you can help me on this?
Regards,
Frans

Hi, i was looking for wordpress custom search bar plugin that support filter by category, tag, etc, and also with shortcode, and i found your plugin named "WP Extended Search".
ReplyDeleteI would like to know if your plugin has style for sitewide search bar such that the text input box and the filter will be on a horizontal bar. However when a user clicks on the filter, let's say the filter is named "Search by", then the available filters will open as drop down.
Similar to that of coursehero but would like it to extend across the website like erudites dot ng.
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,
Oluwole.
