• We are migrating from a custom CMS to multi-site WP.

    One of our web sites needs to have a custom search:
    User selects a Location / type / type2 / type 3. These are 4 sets of check boxes. Once selection is made and search button is clicked, pages have to be searched with the selected criteria and displayed.

    Pagination if selection results in multiple pages: say 5 results per page.

    Currently the data for all the criteria is in tables, an SQL is built with a where part and resultset is shown.

    I would prefer to have a plugin do the above. Is there such a plugin available?

    I am open to non DB search, as the resultset pages exist in WP pages.

    Any advise ?
    Thanks in advance,

    Is this a Multisite question? That is, are you trying to search ALL sites on a network?

    Hello Mika,

    I need to search a single site only. The site in question is on a multisite installation.

    Okay, forget that it’s on Multisite then 🙂

    There’s a reason for that.

    If this was a normal, single WP install, then you’d want something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-filter/

    Try that.

    Will this not work in my situation ? The site plugin documentation does not say “will not work in multisite” ?

    That’s why I said something like.

    Though I would check and see if it works on a per site basis for multi site. The point is you don’t need a specific multi site plugin. So asking here limits your answers. We skew towards multi site only answers.

    I’m moving this out to general troubleshooting so people who know more about more plugins can help 🙂
