(Admin:) As I have been threatening to do, because we have so much good content located in the comments…and in PDFs etc….I’ve upgraded our WP search with a new $25/yr plugin called searchWP. It claims to “take over” from the standard WP search function, and will search inside some PDFs at our site, and inside our comments, supposedly.
Settings include giving “weight” to various search types… which I’m unclear on how it should be setup for that exactly. So that’s a trial and error situation there, as is any new big plugin add-on/ upgrade like this. Hope it goes well, but let me know if strange things are happening.
And have fun searching for stuff in comments…see if you like that feature….and maybe in PDFs too. At minim, this would help us avoid the dreaded repost of content we posted earlier but forgot about. But it’s also one of the big advantages of all the work we have done posting here… a lot of very useful information is stored on the PSA site now. And can be accessed as one might a library.
PS: The site indexing process is underway as I post this, and considering how much we have in posts and library, it may take some hours for it to finish. Maybe wait until Friday morning (Nov.15 2013) to try the new and improved =^) search function out.
says Indexing is now complete… we can test it
I tested search entering the word “holistic” which wasn’t in the Peter Thun post by Gary, AFAIK, but was in the comment I added to that post. Search “brought back” the post…but to find the comment, I had to “open the comment”…
Not perfect…but better than not being able to locate a comment at all.
Now, to figure out how to search for a keyword in a PDF that isn’t in the post itself, or in the link text.
