Integrating BP search into custom components

Hi,

I’m currently working on a custom component that stores some data in custom tables in the BuddyPress database.

Is there a way to extend the BP search-function, so users can search for the data in my custom component?

I know this will involve core-hacking (almost certainly…), but for my purpose this is ok. Also this question isn’t about SQL, I should get that, it’s about adding the search functionality, output etc. to BP.

Thanks in advance

No. Better search is something planned for the future. This would be a really useful contribution or perhaps addon if you had the time and skill to come up with something generic and awesome.

What else would it take beyond adding it in here at the core?

function bp_core_action_search_site( $slug = false ) {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->current_component == BP_SEARCH_SLUG ) {
$search_terms = $_POST;
$search_which = $_POST;

if ( !$slug || empty( $slug ) ) {
switch ( $search_which ) {
case ‘classifieds’ : default:
$slug = ”;
$var = ‘/?s=’;
break;
case ‘members’:
$slug = BP_MEMBERS_SLUG;
$var = ‘/?s=’;
break;

I’m trying to do this too but not having any luck…
