bbPress Search Widget - My New Plugin for bbPress 2.0
-
- Posted 7 months ago #
Hi there!
Like some other users I noticed a missing search feature for the new and awesome bbPress 2.0+ plugin. So I just released a small and leightweight plugin for that:
bbPress Search Widget
Info & download at WP.org:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/-> it's limited to the custom post types of bbPress: forums, topics, replies
-> there's a drop-down to select one of these (a must) - so it also helps fine tune the search for the visitor...
-> it's fully localized so you might translate the few strings into your language - I will attach any translations which are submitted to me!I hope it's useful for you.
Have fun :)
Any feedback is very welcomed of course!
-Thanx, Dave from Germany :)

thanks dave, nice addition to bbPress.
For anyone interested, here is a decent tutorial on how to create your own custom forums search results templates

Your search widget is a welcome addition. One useful improvement would be an option to merge page/post search (the WP default) and bbpress search, so that ONE search can search all WP content.

That would definitely need to be an option - in our case we wouldn't want that because people on our forums are using a search widget for forum specific information.

You should have a look at what @Steveorevo did:
