If I wanted to include a group meta field in the group search, say we wanted to include the group tags, ( gtags_group_tags ) how could this be done? Iv’e looked at the search query but dont quite understand how it works, like what the name=”s” is for.. Maybe if someone could explain it a bit to me I could then play around. Ill ganna have a look at brajesh’s sitewide search aswell and see if I ‘catch on’.

My other option is going with google custom search, though I wouldn’t pay for the ‘non-adds one’ and would really like to steer clear of external ads also being able to return the results in the ‘buddypress fashion’, ( group avatar, description.. )

Also on the subject, in the future it would be nice to see something like the group search ( all the forms, just using group as an example ) form be able have ‘search values’ input-ed kinda, like the form will check your plug-ins for values and include them in the search.


function bp_directory_groups_search_form() {
global $bp;

$search_value = __( 'Search anything...', 'buddypress' );
if ( !empty( $_REQUEST ) )
$search_value = $_REQUEST;

?>

<input type="text" name="s" id="groups_search" value="" onfocus="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '';}" />
<input type="submit" id="groups_search_submit" name="groups_search_submit" value="" />

<?php
}
