Feature Request.

  • Hi,
    The plugin is great.
    But, it only works with default wordpress search.
    Is there any way where I can get search analytics search by other search plugin available like ivory search, fibosearch plugin and such.
    I am integrating ivory search on my client website.

    Hi @elvin1 ,

    I am currently working on a plugin update. During the process I will have a look at the ivory search plugin and get back to you with a solution.

    I am still not sure that out of the box compatibility with all the custom search plugins should be part of the plugin. However, I have been thinking for a while now about building:

    1. a plugin add-on system that would allow you to install add-on plugins
    2. setup a quick integration tips for as many custom search plugins as possible – probably on GitHub – that will allow you to easily integrate my plugin with any other search plugins.

    Still not sure which path I will take – or maybe both.

    I will get back to you soon with a solution.

    Thanks!

    hi Cornel,

    Your plugin sounds awesome but I am also interested to know if it can work with anything other than the default WordPress search. Like elvin1, I am thinking of using Ivory to manage the actual searches but search stats is a higher priority for now ??

    Hello @tashword and @elvin1 ,

    I have tried to come up with a good solution for integrating with Ivory but with the way Ivory Search is setup ( at least the free version ), I would need to hook onto the WP_Query the_posts filter in order to get both the search term and the number of found posts.

    So, I opened a support topic with them and asked for a few changes in their codebase that would allow me to easily get all the info we need to add into the database: https://ivorysearch.com/topic/add-actions-search-analytics-compatibility/

    In case, for whatever reason, they reject my request, I will send you a few lines of code to add into your (child) theme’s functions.php that would make it work even without those actions from the Ivory Search team, even though it wouldn’t be an ideal way of doing it.

    I will keep you posted on how this goes.

    Have a great weekend!

    Hi @tashword and @elvin1 , I tried to solve this in this release but the developers of Ivory Search still did not add the action I would need to make it work flawlessly – Ivory Search Thread

    However, in this version I added some filters that will allow you to apply some code in the functions.php file of your child theme and make everything magically work.

    I have a post in the works that describe the process for making this work.

    Thank you!

    Cornel
