Global Site Search

One of the things people have been less than fond about as regards WordPress has been it's search functionality.

This has become even more of an issue when it comes to WordPress Multisite and BuddyPress as there's simply no way to search across all the blogs on your entire site... that is, until now.

This plugin utilizes our powerful post indexer plugin to provide you with full indexing of all the posts, from across all blogs, that you can then simply search through.

All you have to do is to drop the plugin into /wp-content/mu-plugins/ (make sure Post indexer is installed) and it should auto create a page called "Site Search" for you where anyone can search through all your blogs.

And it's pretty search too, including all the avatars of the blogs where search terms come up :) Here it is in Norwegian:

No coding required!

And, on the off chance the page isn't auto created all you need to do is create a page with the slug "site-search" without the quotes.

And if you want to put the search form on another page, just lift it out of the site search page and you should be good.

Happy searching :)
