WP Search Suggest Reviews, Downloads & Maintenance

It adds an AJAX call to the search form, returning matches for the current search query from the database.
There is no change of template files necessary as this plugin hooks in the existing WordPress API to unfold its magic.

I will be more than happy to update the plugin with new locales, as soon as I receive them!

Frequently Asked Questions

The plugin doesn’t work with my theme. What’s wrong?

Make sure your theme’s search input field has an id="s" and/or name="s" as in TwentyTen and TwentyEleven. It’ll work fine then.

Отличный плагин для поиска по товарам с подсказками

С плагином интернет-магазина WP Shop работает отлично. Чтобы саджест-поиск не искал в ненужных типах записей в файл functions.php достаточно включить функцию-фильтр, в которой настроить WP Search Suggest под себя: `/* * Customize plugin WP Search Suggest */ function wp_search_suggest_custom($query_args) { $query_args += [ 'post_type' => ['post', 'page'], 'posts_per_page' => 10, ]; return $query_args; } add_filter( 'wpss_search_query_args', 'wp_search_suggest_custom');`
