This plugin is very good, tank you very much!
Great plugin … except it appears that anyone “above” subscriber has full access to the options page. Only “admin” should be allowed to change the options.

Hi there,
thanks for the plugin, it used to work like a charm with 2.1, but now, after the 2.1.3 upgrade, it seems not to work any longer. I’ve also re-downloaded and installed a couple of minutes ago, but never changed: it doesn’t find words just like before.
It’s just me, or is it a known problem?
Thanks in advance for all the support,
Francesco

I was going to ask the same thing as Lorin right above me. At http://www.sermonexchange.net we have many different authors contributing sermons and would like to be able to search by author. Any chance of that? It would make this plugin invaluable to me. Thanks and God bless!

Hi,
It’s great plugin. it works!! really everything can search now…. haha…
thanks.
Hi there,
I’ve just installed the plugin and it’s a massive improvement over the previous search functionality. Thanks!
One questions: it seems that the plugin is returning search results that include deleted posts and pages. Is this something to do with the plugin itself or the way that wordpress runs the database?
Cheers,
Alex
[quote comment="209654"]I’m actually considering closing comments on this post altogether since all support issues should be ticketed on the google code page. It’s clearly a problem and I don’t want to suspend user comments in anyway. Maybe I’ll make a new page template that places the trackbacks first and larger pages like this will use that template instead.[/quote]
Hi Dan,
I’ve just seen this comment (there are a lot of comments here and I missed that one. I’ll move everything to there. thanks!

okay… not sure if I’m just blind or what, but where are the instructions for how to put the search function on the blog? I see the search from within the admin panel, but what code do I write in where users would use it? I don’t see it in the install instructions above – they stop with setting the options on the admin page – nor in any of the comments or in the WP support forum. I also checked for a read-me file with the download – nothing there either?
Might be a nice plugin…if I knew how to install it! haha
[quote post="644"]how to put the search function on the blog[/quote]
It adds functionality to the already included wp search box. If you do not have a search box you can either request it from your theme author, use widgets or get the code from a default theme and place it into your side/header/wherever.

Hi!
I’m having a problem: Using your tool to be able to search as well in custom fields, I do NOT want to find attachments as well. But I can’t deactivate it, when searcheverything is activated it is searching for attachments, no matter if that’s function checkbox is deactivated or not. (try: http://www.selbstausbildung.de: search “joomla” – there’ll be two pages and one attachment).
Where’s the error?
Thanks..
