WP Search Suggest

by Konstantin Obenland

Download
Description

This plugin lets you provide the user with search suggestions based on the information entered in the search field.

It adds an AJAX call to the search form, returning matches for the current search query from the database.
There is no change of template files necessary as this plugin hooks in the existing WordPress API to unfold its magic.

Translations

I will be more than happy to update the plugin with new locales, as soon as I receive them!
Currently available in:

  • English
  • Deutsch
  • Czech

Filter Reference

wpss_search_query_args (array|string)

The query args, passed to WP_Query, either as an array or a string.
An array with the default query args and the current search query are passed to the filter.

wpss_search_results (array)

An array with the result strings as values. An array with the default results and the WP_Query object are passed to the filter.

  1. Download WP Search Suggest.
  2. Unzip the folder into the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  1. The suggested post and page titles.

    The suggested post and page titles.

The plugin doesn’t work with my theme. What’s wrong?

Make sure your theme’s search input field has an id="s" and/or name="s" as in TwentyTen and TwentyEleven. It’ll work fine then.

Very fast

I like this simple Plugin, I only would wish to have more results or to set an option for this 😉

Отличный плагин для поиска по товарам с подсказками

By Mikhail Alferov (malferov) on April 28, 2018

С плагином интернет-магазина WP Shop работает отлично. Чтобы саджест-поиск не искал в ненужных типах записей в файл functions.php достаточно включить функцию-фильтр, в которой настроить WP Search Suggest под себя: `/* * Customize plugin WP Search Suggest */ function wp_search_suggest_custom($query_args) { $query_args += [ 'post_type' => ['post', 'page'], 'posts_per_page' => 10, ]; return $query_args; } add_filter( 'wpss_search_query_args', 'wp_search_suggest_custom');`

No fiddling with settings required--does exactly what you'd expect straight out of the box. No less, no more.
