Searching Box and Banner Content

Recommended Posts

msrodger

Has anyone found a good search plugin that will include the box and banner content in the search results? I love using the boxes and banners in Platform, however, I just realized they are not searchable using WP's default search widget. I've tried Search Everything and Search Unleashed, but neither did the trick. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Adam. I had been working with Search Unleashed and got it to show box items in the results, but banners were still missing. The search results also direct you to a 404 page when you click on the box title or "More" link instead of going to the page where I have that box set showing. I can continue to try to work with it, but thought I'd ask here on the forums in case there was another Search plugin that people have found to work well.

Well the issue here is that Boxes, Banners, etc are custom post types but they work differently in PP...Instead of having their own page they live within a page. It seems like you would need a search function that reads page content fully and doesn't just search through the_content function. But I'm not sure what plugin would be best.

I need to include banner pages in search results. Has anyone worked this out? It seems like a genuine no-brainer necessity. How is it possible that this doesn't work out of the box?
