Got it! Thanks and sorry for the silly question.
Hi Bennett
Great pluging, many thanks for all your hard work
works great!
Just one question, sorry but we have very little IT knowledge. Can you plugin be configured to search “pages” as well as posts?
TIA
Rich
Richard, Search Meter doesn’t carry out any searches. It simply records statistics about them. There may be other plugins that allow page searching.
maybe it’s just me, but search meter’s linking back to the search results has a bug/typo in the code.
I had to replace “/search/” with “/?s=” for Wordpress 2.0.5
I just started using Wordpress today, so if this is irrelevant or something please disregard.
oh yeah. forgot to say thanks or the plugin!
aliem, you’re right: it is just you.
Actually, Search Meter expects fancy permalinks to be enabled (so your post URLs look like
foo.com/2005/12/31/new-yearrather thanfoo.com/?p=43). You can turn this on in Options/Permalinks in your WordPress administration console. With this enabled, search URLs look like/search/foorather than/?s=foo.I have been planning for almost a year to make allowances for unfancy permalinks. As Eisenhower said, plans are worthless; planning is essential.
It should be working fine now. I tweaked a few things and actually restructed my whole blog with a new permalink structure, but it should all be working now and functioning correctly.
Das ist mal ein echter Fortschritt für Wordpress. Ich habe es gerade runtergeladen und werde es in der lokalen installation austesten. Aber die Idee ist echt gut!!! 10 Punkte
I’ve found a workaround for the problem Katja pointed out almost a year ago (in December 2005), where the number of hits shown is the number of posts returned on the page rather than the total number of hits available.
My solution is to use Matt Read’s Custom Query String plugin. I have this plugin configured to display specific numbers of posts on the various types of pages (home, archive, date, category, etc), with no rule for the search page. I also have my WordPress reading options (Options -> Reading) set to show all blog posts (-1 posts). This makes WordPress display all search results on a single page.
One drawback of this setup is that for extremely common search terms (I used “the” as a test word) you get a really long search results page.
