Features of Advanced Search 2
Advanced Search - Multi-site search for Joomla

Advanced Search 2 is an extension suite that brings professional search features to the Joomla! platform. Empower your Joomla web site search with fine-grained control of both the input and output of your search., custiom CSS-styling and - for the first time - even searching across multiple Joomla sites!

Features

  • Joomla! 1.5 native compatibility compat_15_legacy.png
  • Multi-site search with secure site-2-site authentication
  • Content-specific search result filtering
  • Language-specific search result filtering (Joomfish-enabled sites only)
  • Dynamic detection/usage of searchable content types
  • SEO/SEF ready with built-in support for sh404SEF
  • W3C XHTML 1.0 Transitional, W3C CSS Valid
  • In-extension CSS editing
  • Custom search plugins for menu items and authors
  • Change default search parameters such as:
    • minimum/maximum search string length
    • default search type (i.e. exact phrase)
In addition to multi-site search, the real power of Advanced Search lies in it's ability to dynamicly accommodate new content types (i.e. search plugins) as they become available (i.e. installed with other extensions as your site grows). Once a new search mambot/plugin is installed and published it is immediatley detected and utilized by Advanced Search. In addition, Advanced Search is a seperate component from the default Joomla! search engine and thus no 'hacking' is required for its use (unlike other customized search solutions for Joomla!).

Included Extensions

  • Core Component - search engine application
  • Search Module - standard search module (specific mambots can be pre-selected in the module parameters)
  • Search Selector Module - search module allow users to quickly search one mambot or all mambots using a drop-down menu of all available mambots
  • Menu Search Mambot - search mambot allowing the names of menu items to be searched
  • Author Search Mambot - search mambot allowing author names to be searched
  • XML-RPC plugin - allows transfer ofsearch results data between sites
  • Advanced Search Web Links plugin - replaces the existing Joomla core web links plugin (no hacks required) that interferes with site-2-site commmunication (i.e. multi-site search)
