Never mind I wrote my own plugin.

Where is the $reg_one_present variable being set, can you show the code that sets that variable?

Didn’t know I was so helpful!

@Kash I believe you have to install itself Sphinx separately for the plugin to work, which can be either a pain or impossible if the server is locked down too much.

@Kash: Thanks for adding one more solution to the readers over here. I would suggest all of those who feel hooked up to search reloaded try both the solutions… Thanks again for stopping by!

Hi Guys,

Has anyone looked at this search : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/ I think it could be the answer to not using search reloaded?

I beleive it returns the results in order of relevance..

Hope this helps

Cheers

Kash

@Kim: Well i totally agree. The plugin is way simple. It has a bit of a complicated query but it’s nothing much. Now charging for this kind of stuff and that much (!!) is not an option for me. But, i respect his decision, it’s his code, so i just can’t help my readers with this plugin any more unfortunately. I have Jame’s suggestion as well that i think is pretty good too…

I was just asking – I wasn’t sure if it had a GPL or not. I think it’s probably better to see if that new one works as well as Search Reloaded. I think it’s kind of uncool to offer something for free and then start charging for it. Why not make a “better” version to sell and leave the original?

@Kim: Well i was not asked not to send it out but the plugin was not released under the GNU GPL before. If it was i would have added a download mirror here. I don’t know i am thinking about asking the author about it…

Hi Stratos- Were you asked not to send it out? Wouldn’t the version that was released prior to it being sold be under GPL?

I haven’t tested this yet but am going to

http://ajaydsouza.com/wordpress/plugins/better-search/

It might be a good replacement for Search Reloaded.

@Michael: Well unfortunately the author is now actually selling the plugin so i can’t help you out any more. See i have the plugin on my archives but i can’t go out sending it to people cause it’s copyright infringement. I am really sorry
