I have moved this project to my programming blog. This page is left here only for record keeping — please check the new site for more details about updates to this plugin. I’ll also close comments to this entry. Please forward all your enquiries to the new site.

Sorry I have not had experience with searcheverything plugin. It wouldn’t even work for me (WP2.0.2) when I tried to download and test it. However from the code it seems SEv only modifies the SQL for the search. As long as your theme has a search.php file that uses the_excerpt() to output the post content, this plugin should work.

I have installed this plugin, A Great work. I have few query’s and need your advice.

1. While installing this plugin, I was using

‘Search Everything’ Plugin (http://dancameron.org/searcheverything/)

. So, after the activation, I could not get Search Excerpts. I had then disabled Searrch Everything Plugin and got the Search Excertpts.

However, I am facing a minor problem, the result does not display background & padding around Post footer area i.e at the end of each Post, I have Meta Data and Bookmarks with a surrounding box and background color.

Could you please advice.

Regards,

I found that the cause is this line from default-filters.php file:
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');

If I comment that out, then it outputs just the fragments, which is desired result.

Any ideas how to workaround this, without actually commenting out this file (it would simplify the future upgrades)?

The solution I found is to:
- remove the add_filter('the_excerpt', 'ylsy_search_excerpt'); line from the end of the plugin
- call echo ylsy_search_excerpt(''); instead of the_excerpt()
