Search function

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

I´d like your help for 2 questions, both of the “Search function”:

1- My site has several videos. What the user has to write in the Search rectangule in order to see all the videos that exist in the site?

2- If the word that I write in the “TAG” doesn´t exist in the Permalink, the Search won´t show the video. How can I solve this limitation, I mean, what do I have to do in order that the Search will show a video that has a TAG that I´ve selected but the TAG doesn´t appear in the Permalink?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi,
I’m afraid the search does not work like that. It will find results based on the titles, not the elements themselves. So if you search for “video” it will not show anything. The theme has no such options.
The search our theme uses is the default wordpress search (except for the live ajax search we built but that only returns posts).
So all of the search limitations are wordpress related not theme related. You can find solutions online to modify the wordpress search to look for tags or videos or you can maybe find a plugin that has such options.
Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for your answer, it was very clear and helpful.

As a result of what you wrote, I´ll install a plugin that will allow the Search function to display the videos of my site that have the tags that I put on those videos.

So, I ask you if you have any suggestion of a plugin with these characteristics (the reason of my question is that I don´t know anyone, but if you already know it would be very useful for me, in spite of knowing that this request is outside of the purpose of this support).

Thank you!

Best regards.

Unfortunately we have not tested any search plugins so I cannot make any recommendations. Sorry. You can try to google for it and see what others have used successfully. Or maybe some of our users can help with a suggestion.
Thanks.
