easy control over your search results

Search Results 1.2

This straight forward, easy-to-use module gives you greater control over your search results without having to add PHP scripts to your templates, modify the EE core files, or use the SQL query tags. We built this out of our own need to give our web designers control of the way result sets are rendered in EE templates. This is a great investment if you want to quickly group, filter, and sort your results with more control than the built-in results function. Give it a try.

Updates Found in 1.2

With the release of EE 2.1 we worked to resolve a pagination library issue. With that resolution, we took the time to add two new features to the 2.x version and resolve a few minor issues. Check out the new {group_block} variable pair to give you full control of the markup that is repeated with your group headings. All new features will be added to the 2.x version from this release onward.

  • Added group variable pair to expand ability to style group headings
  • Added a new default parameter to excerpt variable for managing empty excerpts
  • Migrated pagination to 2.1 pagination library
  • Set default sort order to descending
  • Resolved random sorting defect
  • Resolved empty excerpt error issues
  • Resolved issue with conditionals that use "weblog" in 1.6.x version
  • Resolved issues where main tag pair threw errors when no parameters were uses. Tag pair now works without any parameters.
  • Resolved highlight parameter issue to work as documented.
