Search function for the User Groups module for ExpressionEngine
I wrote a quick search function for the User Groups module for ExpressionEngine. It searches groups (names and descriptions) as well as topics and topic replies. It respects group types as well - results from private groups will not show up in the topic or topic replies search results. You can download it here or see it here.
Ideally it’d be rewritten to use MySQL’s full-text search, but the way it is now works fine for my purposes.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments. I’ll probably end up updating it as new versions of the User Groups module come out.
The search form I use with it is below:
<form id="group_search" method="post" action="{homepage}/groups/search/">
<input type="text" id="group_search_box" name="group_search_box" />
<input type="hidden" id="member_id" name="member_id" value="{member_id}" />
<input type="radio" name="search" value="search_discussions" id="search_discussions" checked>Discussions
<input type="radio" name="search" value="search_groups" id="search_groups"> Groups<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
