What you can do is replace the line 28 in the file autocompleter_results.php with this line:

$words = '%'.implode("%", explode(" ", $_REQUEST['q'])).'%';

This will first split the searcg string on every space and then combines it again with a percentage sign, which is in the MySQL database used as a wildcard.

If you have further questions just ask again.

Is there a way to set the search to accept multiple keywords.

For example if the user types “cool post”

Can this plugin search the database to find a post that has both the keywords “cool” and “post” at the same time.

I was fooling around with it and used:

explode(” “,$words);
- to get the each word the user enters (separated by spaces)

After that I’m a bit confused where to go.

After that I’m stuck.

I am not quite sure what you want to do? Do you want to have a search for taxonomies or do you want to add the taxonomies to the list of results. That might be a little much of data. Or do you want only the title and the taxonomies as a result. I may include a option to display taxonomies in the results.

No problem. And as I have to accept every comment for new commenters (new name or email address) your comment was only visible for you but for nobody else. I’m glad I could have helped you. I am always happy to getting some feedback, even if they tell me about some bugs I haven’t found, yet. And many thanks for the donation. You are the second who donated to one of my plugins.

Thanks a lot for your comment. There seems to be a issue with IE8 and the Element() function of prototype. The class name was not added to the element and so the CSS had no effekt in IE8. I fixed that and added the class with the addClassName() function after creating the element. It should now also work in IE8. Just update the plugin to version 2.3 and it should work in IE8 with prototype.

Excellent plugin but with script.aculo.us in IE8 the matching titles doesn’t show any background at all. Any idea? Thanks again for your contribution!

You can change the Query inside of the autocompleter-results.php (line 30-46). But as it is a search plugin for posts and pages it is not possible to do it without changing the plugin files.

How would you like to select the table in which the plugin should search for? Manybe I’ll add that option to the plugin.

Hi Bernhard
I like your plugin – works great. My question is – is it possible to make this search only one table in the DB? I have added a glossary of real estate terms and would like to search that and not the posts/categories/tags.
thanks,
Frank

If you have chosen Prototype as the framework the function is available as soon as the complete DOM is loaded if that takes some time the autocompletion is delayed. Try to switch the framework to jQuery if possible. But as the results have to be loaded with an AJAX call your server might take to long for the request.

So first try to switch the framework. If that doesn’t work out either I will check your site if there is any other function that might cause problems with my plugin.

I am using your plugin, how ever there is a delay between when start typing in a result and when the results get displayed. Is there any way to change this?

Hi Bernhard!
Your update just worked fine! Really smooth. Now everything seems OK. Just had to donate some money for the super quick service!
Thanks and best regards Sascha

Hi Sacha,

I checked out the relevanssi plugin and found out that this plugin sets some filters that affects other plugins for searches. I now added some code to make my plugin working with the relevanssi plugin enabled.

Von: Sascha

Sascha — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 12:36:22 +0000

Unfortunately it does not work while Relevanssi is activated! I’s a pitty. Bothe plugins are valuable and nice! However, I will have to go for nice search results rather than for autocomplete…

Anyway thanks for this nice plugin!

Hi and thanks for your very beautiful plugin. One only thing about styling of autocompleter.css -> ac_result class:
* add parameter left:-9999px; to disappear its border (if added) to the bottom of the page
* add !important to width

Bye!

Many thanks again.

Hi Daniel,

I search the web for your problem and it is a bug in PHP 4 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27626). I use html_entity_decode to convert all characters to non-entities to avoid destroying them when limiting the title/content length.

But as PHP 4 (pre 4.3.3) lacks a full support of UTF-8 it might be a prblem with the encoding. So the first thing you should try is to go to the settings page and change the multibyte encoding to ISO-8859-1.

If that doesn’t work, try to replace line 72 in autocompleter_results.php. To do so, navigate to Plugins->Installed and click edit on the plugin. From the list at the right choose the autocompleter_results.php. Then replace this line:

$str = html_entity_decode(trim($str), ENT_NOQUOTES, $encoding);

with this line:

$str = utf8_encode(html_entity_decode(trim($str)));

As I don’t have a running Server with PHP4 I can’t test it myself right now.

In v1.8 I still get “Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /htdocs/wp-content/plugins/kau-boys-autocompleter/autocompleter_results.php on line 72″

It was working great up until v1.5 and then it has stopped. Tried uninstalling / reinstalling – any further ideas?
