Search filters

Mihailo

Hi. Is it possible to add search filters under my search input? Can it be done without any plugin?
I use <?php get_search_form(); ?>.

Thanks!

Mihailo Hi, thanks for your question.

Yes, it can be done without any plugin, but that means you have to code it by yourself.
If you know a bit of PHP, you can easily add as many filters as you want as input fields and handle the search results query with all the filters in your $_POST requests.

Cheers,

Alecaddd Thanks for the reply. I don't really know that much PHP. Do you have any documentation so I can start making the filters?

This is a good and small snippet example:

Alecaddd Thank you. One more boring question.

<?php e( 'You have', 'locale' ); ?> <b><?php echo $wp_query->found_posts; ?></b> <?php e( 'results for your entry.') ?>
</p>

        <?php get_template_part('content','search'); ?>

I am using this to show how many results the search form has found. But sometimes when I type something it says: You have 2 results for your entry but results are blank...And sometimes it says number 4 but only one result is displayed.
