Searching attachments

  • Is there a code that I can add to the theme in order to enable it to search media files as attachments?

    I know WP mediatagger allows that, however, I prefer not to use mediatagger as it doesnt matches with the theme.

    And where can I find the search.php file?

    I just solved half of the issue. I used Search Everything plugin and it filters out the attachments for me. However,

    The result page shows up the image in a post. Even if there is only 1 image in the result, the result page shows it in a post, and when I click on the post a new page opens up showing the image thumbnail. And then to view the image I have to click on thumbnail How can I make the result page, display the image/images thumbnails directly on the result page, rather than showing them as a post/posts? So that I only have to click once to view the image.

    Thanks

    Hi

    Try this,While uploading the image, make sure you set it to media.

    Thanks for replying first of all.

    So I tried what you said and the results does not change. It doesnt matter if the image is uploaded as media or attachment. Either way the results are displayed as a post. Even if it is ONE single image, it shows up as a post. So my users have to click on the post first to open the page containing the image AND THEN click on the image to view.

    All I want is to directly display the images on the result page. So which ever image users wants to enlarge, he/she can do so by clicking on it.

    I believe that its your theme feature as for past two weeks I have been going crazy with all the search plugins and end up with the same result. I even wrote to plugin authors and they told me to ask you as it is a theme feature.

    I am sure there must be someway of doing it.

    Thanks

    Hi

    We have lightbox feature for images, which will prevent the image from opening in new page. But to alter or revamp the search altogether acording to your need requires a lot of tweaking and customization. But we are thinking of adding something like this in later version ??

    It would be better if you could post your site address here.

    Thanks
