I want to create a custom search with 3 input fields “search_query”, “author(optional)”, “date(optional)”. The search results will display topics,replies from a particular user if author box is not empty. What would be the best way to handle it..?
I’am using bbpress basic search function on my form as of now but it just display results with “search_query” is there is a way so that it will take “author” or “date” in account.

I have added to a previous thread that has some of what you’re looking for but I have not been able to get it to work 100% yet… maybe you’ll have better success?

Search by user

It was necessary create file bbpress.php, copy the files for folder(in my theme) bbpress: content-search, loop-search and pagination-search.
