In reply to: New Plugin: AdvancedSearch LiteIn fact, yes.
But I’d recommend a dedicated page for it. 😉Forum: Plugins
In reply to: New plugin: Instant upgradeIt overwrites wp-admin/ and wp-includes/ (language packs are preserved, though). Then it overwrites a couple of files in the WP base directory: index.php, xmlrpc.php, all wp-* (except wp-config.php), license.txt and readme.html.

In reply to: Plugin Updater/Version CheckerWell, there are approaches for this. The problem is that you would need some sort of standardized and/or centralized infrastructure. This requires a lot of cooperation among WP developers and plugin authors.
Some people (including me) tried to evaluate in how far such a cooperation could be organized, but as soon as the discussion came to the WP developers, there was no proper answer to receive. Automattic has announced to develop a plugin management framework some time ago, but nothing ever happened (afaik). But unless Automattic says “Go”, nobody will want to make this work for nothing (i.e. seeing a WP core implementation with the next release).

In reply to: New Plugin: AdvancedSearch LiteIf I recall correctly then it only mentions how to install in the sidebar…
No, the AdvancedSearch (not Lite) has nothing to do with the sidebar. Please have a look at http://www.zirona.com/software/wordpress-advanced-search.

In reply to: New Plugin: AdvancedSearch LiteYou might have a look at the description page, especially the installation instructions. This should answer most questions. If you then still have a specific problem, I’ll be glad to help.

In reply to: New Plugin: AdvancedSearch LiteSure, no problem. That’s exactly what the “original” AdvancedSearch is for. 😉

In reply to: New Plugin: AdvancedSearch LitewebDressing: It might be that when you entered only one word, you have searched for a very common word in the English language.
Elsewise, please give me a link to your website, and tell me for which words you have searched.

In reply to: New zirona.com: fixed background and transparency effectYou probably didn’t see it because I replaced the fixed background some days later. Now the background scrolls with the page.

In reply to: Automatic WordPress upgrades and backupsShort note to the people who already downloaded it and have it in use: There was a little error which made the app download WP not from wordpress.org but from my server. You can download the updated package or correct the mistake yourself with a little tweak.
For more, please read the “Update” section at

In reply to: Plugin: search reloadedOr try Advanced Search — it searches post, pages and comments (at your choice) and uses MySQL FULLTEXT, even with support for boolean operators. You can also choose between sorting by relevance or by date.
(As for Rimmon’s problem, it appears that somebody fooled around with the table types. WP by default uses MyISAM which does support FULLTEXT.)

In reply to: Category filtering?Unfortunately, this is not possible; at least not without modifications which would need to be so heavy that you could as well write a new plugin.

In reply to: New Plugin: Advanced SearchA new version of the advanced search is available, see the release note.
The new version features some fixes and improvements. Also, the plugin is now WordPress 2.1 ready.

In reply to: Dislaying Title of Two Category After SearchPeople, don’t forget to sanitize your user input. Many of the functions you use are not designed to take input from “outside”. At least you should run a mysql_real_escape_string() on the input variables before inserting them into any internal WordPress function. You don’t want your WP database poisoned (and maybe welcome some new admin members), do you?

In reply to: Category filtering?The Advanced Search plugin has (among other features) the ability to filter by categories.
