Plugin request: advanced search
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2007 4:54 pm
Hello,
I think that Serendipity is missing a true advanced search function.
What I would like:
1. The classic quick search on a sidebar with below a "More options" link.
2. The link will go to aa advanced search page with several fields:
- keywords to search
- scope of the search (titles, entries, comments - one or several of them)
- possibility to limit the search to some authors
- possibility to limit the search to some categories (and & or conditions)
- possibility to limit the search to a range of dates (less important)
- sort results by title, date of the entry, date of the last comment.
That's all!
A function like this exist in a lot of other blogging systems, for example in ExpressionEngine (see here an example), Wordpress with a plugin (see here an example), MovableType (see the documentation), and probably others.
So I am sure Serendipity users deserves it!
The problem, because there is a problem!, is that I am totally unable to do it. So if someone can…
Cheers, Fabien
