Comment on Sniffing HTTP by Bob

Thanks, I found this was very useful. Allowed me to determine with my own eyes that when I use HTTP basic auth over http the username/password are sent in clear text but when I use it over https they don’t show up.

Search API with MySQL works fine.

I have a problem with the combination Search Api and “Google Search Plugin”. As result I get a 404 (site not found) error. When I deactivate the plugins, the google-Search (option 2 – with iframes) works fine.

Does anybody have a suggestion?

Many greetings from germany and thanks in advance
Oliver

Hey All,

I released an update late last night. It should try to stop some of these problems.

Also bsherron, I added in the ENGINE MYISAM text at the end of the create table call. Thanks for that.

Hey. I really like the plugin, but if your MySQL default engine isn’t MyISAM the table won’t install due to the lack of support for fulltext indexing in InnoDB. The way around that is to add ENGINE MYISAM at the tail of the create table call.

I tried it and the latest release tells me it defaults to MySQL search, unfortunaly it tries this after Google is activated so the install process is stopped because the plugin crashes. Workaround is first to deactivate the Google search before activating MySQL search by hand. Lawrence Rolograaf

I had the same problem as Joss running 2.8.4. But other wise it works well for me. Currently I’m using the mysql version.

Would it be possible to run this search plugin alongside the core WordPress search function, in a sort of primary/secondary search option scenario?

For many months, I’ve tried to find a viable method for allowing my readers an image search against NextGen galleries, with thumbnail output a la Google image search.

Several online discussions exist where code has been posted to hack the core WordPress search and accomplish this. Problem is, since all WordPress searches are output to the same template, you have to output one of three options:

1) images and text results altogether in one mussy bundle
2) images only (leaving no way to search posts)
3) standard WP search results (back where I started)

What I’d desperately like to see is a search API that can run alongside and concurrent with the core search, and output to its own template. I could use the hacked WP search to return image thumbnails, and use the plugin search for searching my posts and pages.

Sorry if my question is off the tracks a bit. Sounds like a nice plugin you’ve described, and I may be tempted to try it out.

It doesn’t works in my selfhosted wp 2.8.4 blog. The google search shows an ugly error, sphynx search isn’t an option and the only plugin available is the mysql seach an doesn’t does anything
