Support » Plugin: BuddyPress Global Search » Feature requests

  • Hi!

    Congratulations on an excellent plugin! This is a much needed improvement of BuddyPress for most if not all BuddyPress Social Networks.

    I have a few feature requests.

    * Add option to limit length of post excerpt. I get 20-30 lines of excerpts on some posts, that’s too long in the search results list.

    * Add an option to disable live suggestions. This feature is great but causes some issues with formating on my theme (Buddy Theme from Ghostpool). Would be nice to be able to activate the plugin and have some time to fix the CSS before activating this feature.

    It looks like you’ve included support for internationalisation, that’s great. A lot of us run social networks in other languages.

    Once again, thanks for an excellent plugin!

    Glad you like it!

    Are your post excerpts configured to be long with some other function? Out of the box it should not do that, even if I add a long excerpt it still truncates it to just a few lines in the search dropdown. What is the content of the excerpts? I wonder if you r theme is doing this.

    Add an option to disable live suggestions. This feature is great but causes some issues with formating on my theme (Buddy Theme from Ghostpool). Would be nice to be able to activate the plugin and have some time to fix the CSS before activating this feature.

    Ok, this can be done.

    Yep, we include that with every product

    Howdy – is the searching of blogs/sites available?

    Isn’t that part of buddypress + wordpress multisite?

    Cheers,

    +1 for the ability to search sites on a multisite instance. Not the content of the sites necessarily, but the listing of site titles as would appear in the Sites Directory on a Network.

    That would be awesome.

    how about the option to search taxonomies like those made with custompress. Searching by tags and categories would make this heaven!!!

    This is in v1.0.4, available now. There is a checkbox in admin to disable AutoSuggest dropdown, which turns off the feature + CSS.
