Wordpress Live Search Plugin
April 16th, 2006
This now works with Wordpress 2.6. Download and install the new plugin. Once installed, navigate to Settings > Permalinks in your Wordpress admin and click save. This generates the routes needed for the live search to work.
Well I’ve been wanting to make a live search plugin for Wordpress for quite some time and I finally had a chance last night. Feel free to try out my search form to the left to see it in action. I tried to make it as easy as possible to use.
Installation
- Download the plugin
- Unzip and upload the entire folder into your plugins directory
- Login to your administration area and activate the plugin
This plugin is configured for use with the default wordpress search form. If you have changed the id attribute of the search form (searchform) or the search input box (s), this plugin will not work. If I don’t find what I’m looking for in the first few results I usually redo the search with more specific terms, so the plugin only grabs ten results.
Support
If you have any problems with the plugin, just contact me or leave a message in the comments.
Change log
- v1.2 - Updated to fix stupid security issue that I have no idea where it came from.
- v1.1 - Updated to work with latest versions of Wordpress (This version had security issue so be sure to download the latest with the fix applied.)
- v1.02 - added optional close link that is in the code but commented out, no need to upgrade unless you want a close link
- v1.01 - no need to upgrade if already working, just changed stuff for people who were having problems
- v1.0 - initial (I may have left it as v0.1 in the plugin file)
That’s a great plug-in. Thanks very much for taking the time to make it. Much appreciated.
Regards
Great plugin. All I had to do was activate it an it worked flawlessly within the confines of my layout and template. I Can’t think of a single flaw, this plugin is fantastic.
[...] I would just like to take this opportunity to spread the word about a fantastic WordPress plugin I have begun using. The Live Search Plugin only does one thing, but it does that one thing very well. It displays a list of live search results whenever something is typed into the search field. Go ahead and give it a try by searching for a any term using the search box to the right. The behavior you are presented with is very familier for anyone who is used to using Spotlight , a search feature built-in to Mac OS X Tiger. I applaud this plugin’s creator for the excellent job he did in developing a plugin that not only works perfectly after a simple activation, but is 100% valid XHTML! [...]
I tried it and it seems to work, but I keep on getting the “no results” message, even if I enter a search term that is in my posts. Any idea what might go wrong?
@Carsten - What is your website so I can see what is going wrong?
Doesn’t work for me either. Tried it on 2 sites. One with a clean install of wp, default (kubrick) theme. As soon as I start typing I get the message “no result”. I can send you the link to the site if you want.
@Matthijs - Yep, send me the link and I’ll look into it.
Hi John,
my Website is http://www.flashfonic.de/blog/
Like Matthijs, it does not seem to be the theme’s fault. I’ve got the same problem when I activate the default theme.
Would be great if you could help…
[...] Das ganze basiert auf einem Plugin von Addicted To New, das bei mir allerdings nicht so richtig laufen wollte. Mit dem Tutorial von Ordered List hab ich es dann hinbekommen. [...]
I have fixed it myself…
Thanks for an awesome plug-in. Works like a charm!!!
Great plug-in - does what it says right out of the box. Well done and thanks. (BTW - seems to search my tags too, which is great)
I’m also getting the ‘no results’ when the default search in wordpress returns results. How was this fixed? What was the problem?
Thanks.
Same here… Would be so cool to find out a fix on the “No Results” issue.
I can’t really help unless someone could volunteer to let me work with them to do some testing. Off the top of my head I have no idea what could be wrong but I know I could figure it out if I could actually test a non-working site.
Rem pointed out that the issue seems to be whether or not you have permalinks activated. I’m looking into why and I’ll update here when I figure it out.
Cool plugin. Much faster than the one I’m currently using. How about adding a “more results…” to the bottom if there are more than ten?
Also - what should the default search tag look like? I have long since changed it - I tried copying the line over from a default theme but got a bunch of errors.
Okay, nevermind I got it properly inserted into my page, but now it just displays “no results…” even if I haven’t typed anything…
If you care to work on it IM me (aim:gthing32)
Hi John,
Thanks for giving this out of the box plugin. I would like to say here “I have tried almost all available “livesearch” plugins. But none of those worked at my place.
I wanted to ask you “how to improve search accuracy?”
Please advice.
To improve search accuracy you would have to add a full text index on the database and then change all the search queries.
This plugin was exactly what I needed. I’ve been looking for this for a while now. Thank you very much!
[...] I found a plugin for Wordpress that I’ve been searching for for a number of weeks now! From John over at addictedtonew.com comes a wordpress live search plugin. Now when you search for something (see the sidebar of the blog) you don’t have to hit enter&emdash;the results start showing up immediately. What a snazzy plugin; I’m delighted! [...]

Hey there,
VERY cool plugin. Usin’ it. Lovin’ it.
Unrelated question: I’ve seen this little “ribbon” that you have (showcasing “Rails” day) on quite a few sites…is that a plugin too?
Thanks,
Brian
Brian,
It’s available on the Rails Day website.
John,
Rad thanks. Say, to take a step backwards…last night the live search plugin was working TENACIOUSLY on my site.
Today it is exhibiting the oddest behavior. I’ll type “car” into the search, which I KNOW has results…and it will instantly turn up some results. I can then clear the search out, switch over to other applications and do stuff for a while…then come back and WITHOUT refreshing the browser, type “car” or something else that I know will turn up results…and I just get nothing. Not “no results” - just NOTHING. Like the plugin went deaf. If I wait another 30 seconds or so and type in “car” again…I DO get results!
This behavior has been exhibited on Safari/Firefox on OSX and IE/Firefox on a PC in two different locations. Any ideas of what’s going on?
Thanks,
Brian
Hey there,
One more update. I narrowed it down. The Live Search Plugin does NOT work when posts of mine have embedded YouTube videos in them! Interesting.
Brian
After struggling with a couple different other ways to implement live searching I found this plug-in and it was a piece of cake. Thanks!

Hey John, nice job on this plugin. Fairy lightweight and the fact that it drops into any WP template makes it the best choice IMO. However, maybe you could check out my page in IE6+. THe search is towards the bottom of the page. There are about 10 extra pixels bumping the content down. I may be too worn to notice the cause of the error.
Congratulations, great plugin.
I have a problem with your plugin. In fact the problem occured only when I browse my site with firefox. When displaying the result of a search, your plugin ruins the layout of the website: http://www.blogontravel.com
I meant the contrary firefox works but not IE ..
Hey, John,
First off I just want to say i love your plugin. Now im working on stylign it a bit and making it fit into my theme a bit better. One of the main things im working on is instead of having it display below the search form, it displays in a positioned div that pops over my content, kinda like http://sis.slowli.com/ . Now i want to be able to put in a close button to close the div and clear the search, but im more of a novice at coding, especially with javascript - more of a stylist, and i was wondering if you knew of a way to do this, or if u could help me get it started
Thanks for the awsum program and i hope u might be able to help,
Conrad
[...] Die Live Search-Funktion in der rechten Spalte erlaubt eine schnelle Suche in meinen Beiträgen. Die Suchfunktion ist mit dem Javascript Framework Prototype realisiert und ist als Plugin verfügbar. [...]
The “no results” problem mentioned above is definatly a permalink problem. I installed it out of the box and re-included the default searchform so that the plugin would work. I had the “no results” message consistantly no matter what I searched for. I did a little bit of trouble shooting and nothing untill I discontinued my custom permalinks and activated the “Default” permalink structure - it worked perfectly. I plan to experiment with other structures and see if I can find out exactly what the cause is. I’ll keep you updated if I notice anything relavent.
Definatly an awesome plug, great job. It’s worth keeping a default permalink structure untill someone finds a fix for it.
UPDATE: I’ve started running into the same problem as Brian (comment #23). I get nothing more often than something. I cant seem the notice any sort of pattern other than that if I re-activate the plugin it works first time every time but shortly there-after stops working (seemingly) untill it feels like it.
Thanks Rob. I haven’t had time to look into it. I’ll do the same when I get time.
[...] In the near future I wish to add AJAX functionality to display search results (with post titles) under the search text box without a page refresh.

[...]
I’m almost postitive that it’s cache related. I’d start start with that
i can’t even open the zip file, it wants a password
@Shannon - I just tried to download it myself and it worked fine. I have no idea why that would happen.
Amazing plugin; thanks. Just one question, though: the styles I’m setting in css/live_search.css aren’t being applied. I’ve tried putting the CSS in both that file and the main CSS file - any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Nevermind, turns out search_results.php wasn’t IDed. Changing that fixed it up.
Hi. I get an error saying “The requested URL /php-bin/wp/wp-content/plugins/addicted_live_search/search_results.php was not found on this server.” whenever I try to search. Even with the standard theme..
What could be wrong?
Nevermind.. It was the permalink-issue that caused this.

Hi! This plugin is great! Unfortunately, it isn’t working as it should on my site. If I do a search, it will find the results and create the links - but it won’t show them, unless I first press the search button and then searchs again at the search results page.
This problem seems to be IE only, it works just fine with Opera.
Any ideas on how to solve this prob?
Thanks!
@Troels - You have several javascript plugins installed. Most likely there is some kind of conflict. The plugin I created uses prototype and I saw that you were using another that did as well. You could try removing the <script> tag that includes prototype in my plugin or disabling some of the other plugins that include javascripts.
Hi
great plugin. Is there any way to cap/limit the number of results returned?
Thanks
EB
@Everton - I believe you can change the $posts_per_page variable in the search_results.php file. It is currently set to ten.
Still no fix for the ‘no results’ when permalinks are customized?
I’d be happy to help you test. My site is http://decoracion-delux.com/
Thanks
@mami - It seems as though it is more often not working when permalinks are off rather than customized. Mine are customized and work fine.
Thanks. Did the trick, although I think it would have looked better if I’d truncated the results but I’ll stick with the fewer posts.

It works for me, but only after one reload of the site. If I load the site the first time, the live-search didn´t works, but if I do a reload, then the live-search works, too. I don´t think, that I have a problem with other js. Can You give me a hint?
Thanks!
@Rudiger - Odd, it worked fine for me the first time when I went there.
Hi
Is there any way to truncate the results?
thanks
DS
Sure just edit the search results php file to truncate the title. It’s not built in but is really easy with a bit of php.

Hi.
Great plugin. Thanks :)
I am using the plugin for a small WP based portal but looks like the plugin has mysteriously ’stopped working’ after a day. I fiddled around with the permalinks as suggested, but it hasnt solved the issue. The test site is http://www.inkriti.net/wp1/
I am using WP 2.0.6 - and the plugin worked well for a day before it quit functioning. The plugins enabled are the livesearch, bbpress integration, static front page, wp-dtree and tiger style administration. The same plugin works with the exact SAME setup on a different machine so i doubt that its a javascript conflict. wp-dtree needs prototype for special effects but we have disabled scriptalicious - so no effects for the tree other than the default it came with.
Would appreciate any help / pointers.
@Pushkar - The site won’t come up for me. I’m betting it’s a javascript conflict. Try disabling the other plugins and see if it works then. That is the most common problem.

Thinking of upgrading WordPress from 2.0.7 to 2.1 - are there any known issues with WP 2.1?
Hi, I have been using your plugin for a couple of months with no problems. Then I upgraded to WP 2.1.0 and now I get a page error nag message in IE 7, until I disable the plugin.
I haven’t test for IE7 or wordpress 2.1 yet. I’ll do so as soon as I get a chance.

@DG - You have prototype included twice. Once in my plugin and once another time. That is probably causing the issues.
John,
WordPress 2.1.X includes prototype.js, so I’ve set the path of Livesearch plugin, and another one using prototype.js to wp-includes/js/prototype.js. But still the search box is not clear.
I’ve also made changes in livesearch CSS file to read the div#addicted-results, as div#addicted_results.
And finally entered ul id=”#addicted_results” in search_results.php.
Even though, the search box is not coming clear.
DG…
http://www.ditii.com
DG, It’s a style sheet problem. One solution is to make an overlay, then you need to add a z-index: 2; (or something higher) and a position: absolute; attribute.
John, Here is what I’ve entered in livesearch CSS:
/* live search styles */
div#addicted_results {
position: absolute;
z-index: 5;
float: left;
width: auto;
height: auto;
padding: 2px;
right: 22px;
}
div#addicted_results ul {
color: #F60;
background-color: #e4a9a9;
width: 100%;
border: 2px solid #c43b3b;
filter: alpha(opacity=60);
-moz-opacity: .60;
opacity: .60;
font-size: 1em;
font-color: #ffffff;
line-height: 2em;
text-align: center;
}
div#addicted_results li { list-style-type: square; }
div#addicted_results a { color: #F60; font-weight: bold; }
div#addicted_results a:hover {}
Can you tweak it, to let me have more clear visibility.

hello,
I successfully integrated it here: http://sibiu.zice.ro although this is running on wpmu not simple wp.
As I can’t change its own css file as that would affect all other blogs, I have to put my styles into the general style file. Thsi works out hust fine, but I am left with a kind of stupid question, but I am unsure where to change this:
what would I have to change to have the searchbox (input) and the search button on one single line and no title above it?
I tried to activate the plugin released here and identified it is working well under Japanese environment. I am really impressed.
Thank you for your great efforts.
Advanced Plugin! Thank you!
can I somehow get this plugin to also search categories and tags? or is that a matter of another plugin to deal with?
i.e. I search for literature and having two posts inside this category both tagged with literature I was expecting two get 2 results, but it only returns one because only one post contains the word literature…
any hints?
You would have to add category and tag search in yourself.

Hi!
I am getting this error:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /www/htdocs/v109938/blog/wp-content/plugins/addicted_live_search/search_results.php on line 24″
I dont know how to fix it, any help would be appreciated :)
@kathy - get_header is a wordpress template function that spits out the header.php file in your theme. For some reason, the file that has that function in it is not being included. My guess is that there is a path issue. Maybe the plugin doesn’t work if your site is at domain.com/blog instead of domain.com. I can try to look at it but it might be a bit as I’m pretty swamped.
it was working fine, and all of a sudden it stopped :(

Installed this plug-in, works great as per specification.
I would like to customize the search so that the search happens only on the title rather than the body contents,
How could i do this?
@Ravi - You would have to edit the plugin to customize functionality. If you just want to customize look and feel then use css. The div that wraps the ul, li and a tags is named div#addicted-results.
Love this…How can I display more than 10 results at a time? Thanks in advance!
@holly - You would have to customize the plugin.
Hi John,
Great plugin :) I put the search form in the inner pages and it was working fine in our site.
However, after installing ultimate tag warrior plugin, i’ve encountered some problems. It’s not searching properly now. It doesn’t show all posts with the searched keyword, for e.g. i typed the phrase (flying v), it only shows one post http://www.inboundpass.com/2006/12/31/jru-posts-back-to-back-win/ not even the post in the frontpage in the Preseason News http://www.inboundpass.com/2007/06/13/green-archers-win-flying-v-preseaon-title-ue-grabs-3rd/ and others.
What do you think is the problem?
Hope to hear from you. Thanks.

hello,
i would like to show only 5 or 6 words auf a result.
Atm the search returns the whole name of an post. I would like to have it like this way.
“result of the search …”
still as an hyperlink, but shortened with the dots at the end.
is that possible?

Great plugin. I added code to handle keypresses like cursor up/down and ESC on my site, if anybody is interested to get a live search which feels like Apple’s Spotlight.

Thanks for a great plugin! I like it very much and been using it on my blog a long time now.
Recently I’ve been having some troubles with it though - using it togheter with Lightbox plugin it causes a JavaScript error.
I think it might be because of both plugins loading their own prototype.js but commenting out the rows in either plugin dosen’t help.
Any ideas how to solve this??
Simpy great! Thanks!
This is a great plugins. This type of is priceless for the new kid on the block.
Thanks
Vic
Awesome! Worked great for me. Thanks a ton.
I had it working here: http://www.rondul.eu/ but all of a sudden it stopped finding anything. if I hit enter it still finds but the livesearch is always saying: no results found :-(
any ideas?
oh and btw, the newest version of WP already uses prototype, so actually my blog loads 2x prototype once for your plugin and once gets loaded by default by wp… could you try and make your plugin compatible with the wp
Hi, my name is Gabriel and I’m the admin of http://www.ninioromantico.com.ar
I be installed your Wordpress Live Search plugin, but I have a problem.
I obtain “No Results.”
How is the solution for the problem?

Your plugin does not check if prototype is already loaded by WP. So it gets loaded twice. I’d recommend something like this:
if (function_exists(’wp_enqueue_script’)) {
wp_enqueue_script(’prototype’);
}
else
{
echo ” . “\n”;
}
this is a great plugin but I found two bugs .
first is when you type an apostrophe I get this error
“WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' GROUP BY ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10' at line 1]”
and the second bug is when you post with “post timestamp”, the post that it should apear later is found in the search and is not supposed to happen.
Solution for the “No Results..” Error
The problem occurs when the permalink structure is set to Custom /%category%/%postname%/
Something to do with the category tag, seems to work with something like /%post_id%/%category%/%postname%/ or
/%post_id%/%postname%/
I’m using the Wordpress 2.3
