How to search in all Name Directory

Hi Zoorba,

at the moment it’s not possible to search in all the name-directories in one time.

Can I ask why you created 20 directories (one for each letter)?
The plugin has it’s own ability to do that.

Thank you for quick reply.
Because this plugin does not support pagination, in future it will make the website slow : (
I want to have 20 name per page no more then that.
I created 20 directories and I will add about 37.000 names in future.
I am sure It will make the website slow if I don’t use paginations.
Any help will be great.

Hi Zoorba,

thanks for your reply. At this moment I am not planning to implement a global search feature over multiple directories. Maybe in the future, but at this time I don’t see the point. Pagination on the other hand, that sounds like a good idea.

Don’t worry about your site getting slow. It will have to output a lot of words on one page, but that shouldn’t be a big problem for PHP. Slowliness these days is mostly caused by Javascript (lots of javascript libraries on one page) or the use of (too) many images.

Just the output of the Glossary shouldn’t be a problem.

My advice: create one directory and set “Show all names by default” to No (you can do this in the settings for that directory). That way, a user HAS to click on a character in the index (a-z) to view the names/things in your list. That will save you the hassle of creating 26 different name directories AND pages which you HAVE to LINK to eachother for the user to get a pretty good experience. But that’s just my two cents.

Let me know if this works for you

Thank you so much, i really appreciate your help.

I did what you said, and it’s better idea.

I have good ideas to make this plugin better : )
if you would like to talk in private that will be good for me too and I would like to work on this plugin as will.
