 |
|
I've modified the search "engine" using the REGEXP operator; therefore, it now can search for exact matches which can lessen the workload of the database.
In the "blog.header.php" file, replace the "search" section with the following:
| Code: |
// if a search pattern is specified, load the posts that match
if (!empty($s)) {
//gets rid of non-alphanumeric characters excluding spaces
$s = eregi_replace("[^a-z0-9\ ]+", " ", $s);
$s_array = explode(" ", trim($s));
$search .= ' AND (';
for ($i = 0; $i < count($s_array); $i++) {
if ($i > 0) {
$search .= ' '.$scond.' ';
}
if ($exact) {
$search .= '(post_title REGEXP \'[[:<:]]'.$s_array[$i].'[[:>:]]\' OR post_content REGEXP \'[[:<:]]'.$s_array[$i].'[[:>:]]\')';
}
else {
$search .= '(post_title LIKE \'%'.$s_array[$i].'%\' OR post_content LIKE \'%'.$s_array[$i].'%\')';
}
}
$search .= ')';
}
|
And add the following to the search form:
| Code: |
<input type="checkbox" name="exact" value="1">exact word match<br>
<input type="radio" name="scond" value="AND" checked>AND
<input type="radio" name="scond" value="OR">OR
|
Lastly, if you want to highlight searched words, replace "the_content" function in the "b2template_functions.php" with the following:
| Code: |
function the_content($more_link_text='(more...)', $stripteaser=0, $more_file='') {
global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $s_array;
$content = get_the_content($more_link_text,$stripteaser,$more_file);
if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["s"]) && count($s_array) > 0) {
$s = $HTTP_GET_VARS["s"];
$exact = $HTTP_GET_VARS["exact"];
foreach ($s_array AS $word) {
if ($exact) {
$search = "[[:<:]]".$word."[[:>:]]";
} else {
$search = $word;
}
$replace = "<span class = \"search\">".$word."</span>";
$content = eregi_replace($search, $replace, $content);
}
}
$content = convert_bbcode($content);
$content = convert_gmcode($content);
$content = convert_smilies($content);
$content = convert_chars($content, 'html');
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
echo $content;
}
|
EDIT: Seperate words with spaces.

You seperate words with spaces, not quotes.

Both -- if you put that "exact word match" input tag in the edit page.

Bug: The highlight feature breaks up links with a url matching the search term.

I know. You can use strip_tags function to strip HYML tags.
