=== Multisite Global Search === Contributors: aliciagh Tags: search, multisite, buddypress, widget, multilingual, global, shortcode Requires at least: 3.0 Tested up to: 3.0.1 Stable tag: 1.2.3 Adds the ability to search through blogs into your WordPress Multisite installation. Based on my other plugin WPMU GLobal Search. == Description == Easily search through all blogs into your WordPress Multisite by post title, post content or post author. Multisite Global Search doesn't work with single WordPress installation and it must be activated for all sites using "network activate" in the Administration Panel. This plugin is based on my other global search plugin, [WPMU Global Search](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-global-search). It has some new features but if you want to keep using the older version of Wordpress MU, you can install my other plugin. Currently in the following languages: * English * Spanish (es_ES) If you have created your own language pack, or have an update of an existing one, you can send [gettext .po and .mo files](http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress) to me so that I can bundle it into Multisite Global Search. **New features 1.2.3** * Search on pages. **New features 1.2.2** * Fixed some bugs with database prefix. * Clean database when the plugin is deactivated. * Put search form into your code. **New features 1.2** * Check plugin requeriments. * Fixed some bugs. * Added error messages. **New features 1.1** * Insert search form in templates using the shortcode: `[multisite_search_result]`. [See the plugin page for more information](http://grial.usal.es/agora/pfcgrial/multisite-search). * Show excerpted results `[multisite_search_result excerpt="yes"]` **Features** * Multisite Global Search Widget. Show a search form in your sidebar. * Customizable relative URI for results page. * Two different form types, vertical and horizontal. * Search across all network blogs or only in your blogs if you are logged. * Search results are showed in a page which contents the shortcode: `[multisite_search_result]` * Entries on every site across your installation appear in search results immediately after publication. * Receive results from your complete blog network, even sites you do not own or control. * Customizable style sheet for widget and results page. == Installation == **Requeriments** * WordPress Multisite Installation. * MySQL 5.0.1 or greater. * The MySQL user needs to be assigned the ability to "create views" and "drop views" in WordPress database. * Permalink structure must be diferent to default when widget is activated in a blog of your network. **Installation is easy** 1. Upload `multisite-global-search` folder to the `wp-content/plugins` directory in your WordPress multisite installation. 2. Activate the plugin in your Administration Panel. 3. Create a new page in your blog with the permalink URL: `http//yourblog/globalsearch/.`. 4. Place `[multisite_search_result]` in the post content area. 5. Activate widget `Multisite Global Search`. == Frequently Asked Questions == If you have any further questions, please submit them. = Can the search form be used with a shortcode in templates versus the widget? = Insert search form in templates using the shortcode: `[multisite_search_form]` = Can I put search form into PHP files using a function? = Yes, put this code into your files: `Multisite_Global_Search::ms_global_search_vertical_form(your_results_page)` or `Multisite_Global_Search::ms_global_search_horizontal_form(your_results_page)` = Get error "check you have create views privilege in your WordPress database. Illegal mix of collations for operation 'UNION'". = The instruction means that you may not have given the necessary priviledges to your MySQL user.
