If i search for an article or a keyword inside the news category it shows in the search results; but does not show other articles not assigned to the news category but contain same keyword.

I also observed that settings in user/config/plugins/simplesearch.yaml don't seem to be honoured. I tried assigning categories to the different pages and entering their names in the category filter box of the admin but it doesn't work.

Please, how can i add multiple categories in /user/plugins/simplesearch/simplesearch.yaml so that the pages in those categories can display in the search result.

Tried this but isn't working: category: [News, events]

I have a corporate website with different sections such as news, events, FAQ, company profile, etc., so i wish that a user can search for any page contained on the site with the general search box provided.

Thanks for your assistance!!!

The latest develop branch of this plugin has 2 commits that fix this issue, and you can add the @none placeholder in the category filter, and it will search everywhere. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

The problem with your config is, since filters is missing in your user config, the default plugin config is applied.

Thanks so much for your response.

I added @none to category filter in admin but still doesn't search site wide.

I also tried adding @none to category filter in /user/plugins/simplesearch/simplesearch.yaml but still not working.

I entered multiple categories in the category filter in admin but still not working.

I am using the latest version of the plugin.

I appreciate your kind assistance. Thanks.

Latest version you mean the one available through Grav's plugins, or the latest develop branch here? https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-simplesearch/commits/develop

[oshyne]

Available through grav plugin manager.

Thanks

Ok, I just implemented this feature a couple days ago and it's not yet in the latest release. Download https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-simplesearch/archive/develop.zip and unzip in user/plugins/simplesearch. That should make it work.

I unzipped into user/plugin/simplesearch then i went ahead to add @none to category filter option in admin and got the following error message when i tried to search for a keyword.

 C:\wamp\www\unndlc-grav2\user\plugins\simplesearch\simplesearch.php

            foreach ($searchable_types as $type) {
                if ($type === 'title') {
                    $result = $this->matchText(strip_tags($page->title()), $query) === false;

The latest release should fix it. In the plugin configuration through Admin, set @none in the category filter.
