New Search Algorithm

  • I need a little hack.
    When we search in wp, it sends the inputed sting in the name of “s” to <?php bloginfo(‘home’); ?> using GET method:

    <form method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">
    <input type="text" name="s" id="s" size="20" />
    <input type="submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e('Search'); ?>" />

    I need to send the inputed string to <?php bloginfo(‘home’); ?> in the name of “x” and process my searched string with my own algorithm.

    I found some search functions in query.php and now I need to know where I must put me own search queries and how can I introduce “x” parameter to WordPress to use my own search query?

    My own search form:

    <form method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">
    <input type="text" name="x" id="x" size="20" />
    <input type="submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e('Search'); ?>" />

    My search result page URL:
    https://mydomain.com/?x=string
    Instead of
    https://mydomain.com/?s=string

    I changed this in wp-includes/query.php:

    // If a search pattern is specified, load the posts that match
		if ( !empty($q['s']) ) {
			// added slashes screw with quote grouping when done early, so done later
			$q['s'] = stripslashes($q['s']);
			if ( !empty($q['sentence']) ) {
				$q['search_terms'] = array($q['s']);
			} else {
				preg_match_all('/".*?("|$)|((?<=[\\s",+])|^)[^\\s",+]+/', $q['s'], $matches);
				$q['search_terms'] = array_map('_search_terms_tidy', $matches[0]);
			}
			$n = !empty($q['exact']) ? '' : '%';
			$searchand = '';
			foreach( (array) $q['search_terms'] as $term) {
				$term = addslashes_gpc($term);
				$search .= "{$searchand}(($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}') OR ($wpdb->posts.post_content LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}'))";
				$searchand = ' AND ';
			}
			$term = esc_sql($q['s']);
			if (empty($q['sentence']) && count($q['search_terms']) > 1 && $q['search_terms'][0] != $q['s'] )
				$search .= " OR ($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}') OR ($wpdb->posts.post_content LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}')";

			if ( !empty($search) ) {
				$search = " AND ({$search}) ";
				if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
					$search .= " AND ($wpdb->posts.post_password = '') ";
			}
		}

    Into this:

    // If a search pattern is specified, load the posts that match
		if ( !empty($q['x']) ) {
			// added slashes screw with quote grouping when done early, so done later
			$q['x'] = stripslashes($q['x']);
			if ( !empty($q['sentence']) ) {
				$q['search_terms'] = array($q['x']);
			} else {
				preg_match_all('/".*?("|$)|((?<=[\\x",+])|^)[^\\x",+]+/', $q['x'], $matches);
				$q['search_terms'] = array_map('_search_terms_tidy', $matches[0]);
			}
			$n = !empty($q['exact']) ? '' : '%';
			$searchand = '';
			foreach( (array) $q['search_terms'] as $term) {
				$term = addslashes_gpc($term);
				$search .= "{$searchand}(($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}') OR ($wpdb->posts.post_content LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}'))";
				$searchand = ' AND ';
			}
			$term = esc_sql($q['x']);
			if (empty($q['sentence']) && count($q['search_terms']) > 1 && $q['search_terms'][0] != $q['x'] )
				$search .= " OR ($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}') OR ($wpdb->posts.post_content LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}')";

			if ( !empty($search) ) {
				$search = " AND ({$search}) ";
				if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
					$search .= " AND ($wpdb->posts.post_password = '') ";
			}
		}

    And I changed this in function parse_query ($query):

    elseif ( !empty($qv['s']) ) {
			$this->is_search = true;
		}

    Into this:

    elseif ( !empty($qv['x']) ) {
			$this->is_search = true;
		}

    But the x parameter still doesnt work!
    Any comment?

    I need this as well since i need to merge default WordPress search without an outside search.
