Owner

VanillaForum community have Advanced Search result... is there any special plugin for that ?

thank you

River

there is something quite similar with sphinxsearch plugin as suggested above. If you know css you could make it look similar to the community forum look.

There is no such thing. You would need some basic understanding of JavaScript (AJAX) in order to implement it.

After the user has entered X keys (I would suggest at least 4, if not 5), make a request to your forums search and insert the result into the DOM as a list that you style like a dropdown.

The direct access to your search results is yourforum.com/search?Search=TheSearchTerm
You can restrict the number of results yourforum.com/search/1-4/?Search=TheSearchTerm
And you only get the important view yourforum.com/search?Search=TheSearchTerm&DeliveryType=VIEW
For parsing this in your script you could even get it in a better suited format (JSON) yourforum.com/search?Search=TheSearchTerm&DeliveryType=VIEW&DeliveryMethod=JSON

I guess it would look nice. I would offer my help but JavaScript is no friend of mine...

The SphinxSearch plugin has search suggestions, just not on the search page. When you create a new discussion, typing in the title box brings up search results for related discussions.

You could create a new widget based on /plugins/SphinxSearch/widgets/class.widget.relatedpost.php and style it fit the search results.

This is the best search plugin for Vanilla: https://vanillaforums.org/addon/sphinxsearch-plugin

@River thank you For Suggestion .. But It is "Related Discussion Plugin" not a "Search Box "

@Owner: The advanced search comes only with the hosted version of Vanilla.

But we have developed a Search Plugin called "SearchPlus" that extends the regular Vanilla search and might help you.

Here you can see it in action:

Drop me a PM. If you are interested.
