Combining WordPress and Vanilla search?

Hey there,

Was wondering if it seems possible / how you would do it to combine the search results of both a Vanilla forum and a WordPress blog into 1 page.

Comments

  • site: Get results from certain sites or domains. For example, you can find all mentions of "olympics" on the NBC website, or any .gov websites.
    Examples: olympics site:nbc.com and olympics site:.gov

    or maybe http://vanillaforums.org/addon/vanoogle-plugin

    or customize sphinxsearch

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    My suggestion is definitely a custom Sphinx index, but that's so complicated I've been putting it off for like 3 years.

  • Hmm.. I'll look into integrating Google search then, Sphinx really does look complicated as hell :D

    here is a plugin.

    change line 20 in default.php to reflect your site.

    and add this to your default.master.tpl in your theme.

       <div class="SiteSearch">{googlesearch}</div>
    

    if vanoogle plugin doesn't work for you - this might. but vanoogle is pretty slick.
