Advanced Quick Search

[Andreas]

This Add-on adds the options


Search Titles Only
Show Results as Posts


to the navbar quick search box.

Please Note
By default vBulletin searches all searchable content types when using the quick search box.
As the optin to show results as posts is only available for forum posts, the search method will implicitly be switched to searching forum posts only if this option is selected!

This looks like a nice mod. I'll test it out later, ;)

Thanks for the mod.

Finally, don't know why they don't have this by default. Makes things much faster as the advanced search is convoluted, switching from single content type, etc.

I needed this. Thanks

I'm a bit fuzzy on the install .... :confused:

I imported the XML file, but nothing shows ....

Do I need to do the manual template edits too?

Thanks ... :)

Great mod :)

Would it be possible to add show threads by this user has posted in?

[BadgerDog]

So, if I un-install this, besides removing the XML file, I also need to put back the original template edit to the default state and value it was prior to over writing the single line in that template?

Thanks .. :)

Doug

[LOGECT]

Thank you so much : )
Working fine with vb 4.1.0

[Breixo]

Great! Working on 4.1.0

[Blooded]

Great mod, shame for the template edit, i hate doing template edits :(

[ALBCODERS]

perfect ;) Installed.

[Hippy]

thanks for the great mod ..
I have a question ..
when the windows pops down.. is there and way to make the width shorter ?

thanks again for your efforts

[traen]

Has anyone tried this with 4.1.1?

[doopz]

How difficult would it be to add an option to search for only articles (CMS) ?

[Zweeper]

working with 4.3.! thanks for that!

one question, is it possible to change the quick search in a manner that you ALWAYS just search for thread titles? without any drop down menu? would be greate if someone could help me with that

[Hippy]

you can have it default to search for thread titles but you will still have the drop window..
even remove the option to Show Results as Posts
if you like

you edited your navbar template to this

<span class="textboxcontainer popupmenu">
<span class="popupctrl"><input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" tabindex="99"/></span>
<ul id="navbar_search_options" class="popupbody popuphover">
<li>
<label for="cb_navsearch_titleonly"><input id="cb_navsearch_titleonly" checked="checked" type="checkbox" name="titleonly" value="1" /> {vb:rawphrase search_titles_only}</label>
</li>
<li>
<label for="cb_navsearch_showposts"><input id="cb_navsearch_showposts" type="checkbox" name="showposts" value="1" /> {vb:rawphrase show_results_as_posts}</label>
</li>
</ul>
</span>

so change that code to this so the search for thread titles is check by default..




<span class="textboxcontainer popupmenu">
<span class="popupctrl"><input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" tabindex="99"/></span>
<ul id="navbar_search_options" class="popupbody popuphover">
<li>
<label for="cb_navsearch_titleonly"><input id="cb_navsearch_titleonly" checked="checked" type="checkbox" name="titleonly" value="1" /> {vb:rawphrase search_titles_only}</label>
</li>
<li>
<label for="cb_navsearch_showposts"><input id="cb_navsearch_showposts" type="checkbox" name="showposts" value="1" /> {vb:rawphrase show_results_as_posts}</label>
</li>
</ul>
</span>

hope it helps

[Zweeper]

Anybody got this mod working with VB 4.2?

I really liked that you could easily search only titles.

Sure does

[Katoona]

How did you pull that off?

In my 4.2 installation I don't get the popup.

[Hippy]

did you add the code to the correct place for the template edit

the directions are in
templateedits-advquicksearch.txt with in the archive you downloaded

[Katoona]

Yes, I have added it in the correct place. It was working perfectly, and it stopped working after installing 4.2, and I threrefore followed the instructions once more, but nothing.

[RTWAP]

Works perfectly on 4.0.7

[Mecho]

Any luck to have something like this for 3.8.X ?

<div class="searchButton">

[dorans]

This mod does not work togheter with DragonByte Tech: vBNavTabs (LITE) (vB 4.2.0+) mod.

Has anyone been able to get them to work togheter?

Bump?

[dorans]

Hook vbnavtabs
Switch Templates template_render_output off

If this is off then works quck advanced search.

How bad is it if it is turned off? Does anyone know?

[ozzy47]

The mod basically won't work with that switched off.

[dorans]

But doing? That's why I ask.

[ozzy47]

If you disable that plugin, the NavTabs mod will not work. That hook is for using the template needed by the mod.

[dorans]

Check better. In many ways, it's like as in the picture. Both modules work.
