NOTE :

Due to personal issue, this Ultimate WP Query Search Filter Plugin is no longer under development. Thanks for the support over the years.

Anyone that come across this page that want to find a realible saerch plugin, here are the list of potential replacements.

 

Since I released the Advance WP Query Search Filter and Ajax WP Query Search Filter, I have to answer a lot questions regarding these two plugins. This is very exhausted for me to maintain the support for those two plugins because although the plugin seem similar, but in fact the are not. Hence, I developed this new plugin to replace the previous search filter plugin so that I can focus the support into one plugin instead of two.

This new Ultimate WP Query Search Filter plugin, actually is combining the previous Advance and Ajax plugin into one plugin. That’s mean, user now able to choose to use the default theme search template or Ajax call to display the search result.

Of course, there are new features included in this plugin as well. Most of the new features are previously requested by the user such as added Post Tag in taxonomy filter, hide/display search button, adding compare operator in Taxonomy..etc.

Plugin Features:

• Admin are free to choose whether the search go through post type, taxonomy, meta field or even all of them.
• Multiple Search Form Supported.
• Free to choose either theme search template or Ajax call to display the result for each of the search form.
• Search form support checkbox,radio and dropdown fields.
• Plugin extendable with hooks.
• Using shortcode to display the search form.

Installation:

• Upload `ultimate-wp-query-search-filter` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
• Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
• Create your search form in the Ultimate WPQSF menu.
• Using `[ULWPQSF id={form id}]` to display the form.

From Setting Configuration: 

Search Template – for display the search result

• Default Search Template – Use the theme search template, same as the default search result template
• Ajax – Result displayed on same page. When use this, have to enter the Div to display result. The div value should be one of the div in the page, recommended not to use the div that contain the search form.

Post Type

• Choose the post type that you want to filter when search.

Taxonomy

• add taxonomy as the search filter.
• On ‘Operator‘. the ‘AND‘ should be use to checkbox display type when you want the search to filter through term1 AND term2. By default it is using ‘IN‘operator where the search filter through term1 OR term2

Meta Fields

• add meta field as the search filter.
• If you choose ‘BETWEEN‘ in ‘Compare‘ field, then in your options eg: for range option 1-100::$1 – $100 | 101-200 :: $101 – $200 | 201-300 :: $201 – $300…etc

Result Setting and Others

• Enabling string search – to enable string/text search. Note that, the string search only will go through post title and post content only. If the search term is not in post title or post content (like in taxonomy or meta field), there will be no result searched.
• Label for string search – the label of the string/text search
• Combine string search with filters above – when check this, the string search will filter through the taxonomy and meta field that you defined in the same form.
• Orderby – choose the search result order. By default, it uses post date to order the result. If you select Meta Value or Numeric Meta Value, the next field Sorting Meta Key must be present.  
• Sorting Meta Key – only will be used when Orderby field was Meta Value or Numeric Meta Value. Note that this meta key must be also be present in the query.
• Sorting Order – order algorithm Ascending or Descending.
• Results per Page – number of posts to return on search.
• Search Button Text – The text displayed in the search button.

FAQ:

How can I styling the search form? 

You can simply refer the themes/default.css that come with the folder and alter it or override it at your theme css file.

What if I want to display the search form in the template?

Put this into `<?php echo do_shortcode(“[ULWPQSF id={form id}”); ?>` your template.

What if I want to display the search form in the sidebar widget?

Just insert the shortcodes like you inserted in the post content. eg. ‘[ULWPQSF id=3299]`

What is the ‘button’ parameter is used for ? And how to use it? 

The ‘button’ parameter is use to display/hide the button. NOTE that, this parameter only applied to AJAX SEARCH only and once you hide the button, it will automatically update the result when there is changes is made in the search form. To hide the button simply add ‘button=0’ to the shortcode. eg. ‘[ULWPQSF id=3299 button=0]‘

What is the ‘divclass’ parameter is used for ? And how to use it?

The ‘divclass’ is for adding your own class to the frontend search form. This class will be applied to each filter (taxonomy or meta field) and then you can use it for customize the design etc. To use the parameter, just simply add ‘divclass’ to the shortcode. eg. ‘[ULWPQSF id=3299 divclass=my_own_class]‘

What if I don’t want to display the title of the search form?

Just give `0` to `formtitle` parameter in the shortcode eg. ‘[ULWPQSF id=3299 formtitle=”0″]`
