OMG! This. Is. EVERYTHING.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for and it is :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:

Here it is in action: https://www.womenconquerbiz.com/

I used the Set a menu search “icon” and even though I have a custom theme (thankfully) it worked PERFECTLY.

Thanks again! I’ve already shared it with a colleague who struggled with GhostHunter. And I’ll let others know as well.

Hi,
How to add Russian (Cyrillic if I’m right) symbols to search?

Thank you forward.

Hello!

For any non-latin language, you have to add an extra configuration parameter. Please, refer to the underlying “searchinghost” documentation on Github.

For chinese only content, you can use this configuration:

{
  contentApiKey: '<your_api_key>',
  searchinghostOptions: {
    indexOptions: {
      encode: false,
      tokenize: function(str) {
        return str.replace(/[\x00-\x7F]/g, "").split("");
      }
    }
  }
}

For cyrillic only, that configuration:

{
  contentApiKey: '<your_api_key>',
  searchinghostOptions: {
    indexOptions: {
      encode: false,
      split: /\s+/
    }
  }
}

And if you want to use a mix of chinese/cyrillic + any latin language, you should go with:

{
  contentApiKey: '<your_api_key>',
  searchinghostOptions: {
    indexOptions: {
      split: /\s+/,
      encode: function (str) {
        var regexp_replacements = {
          "a": /[àáâãäå]/g,
          "e": /[èéêë]/g,
          "i": /[ìíîï]/g,
          "o": /[òóôõöő]/g,
          "u": /[ùúûüű]/g,
          "y": /[ýŷÿ]/g,
          "n": /ñ/g,
          "c": /[ç]/g,
          "s": /ß/g,
          " ": /[-/]/g,
          "": /['!"#$%&\\()\*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~]/g,
          " ": /\s+/g,
        }
        str = str.toLowerCase();
        for (var key of Object.keys(regexp_replacements)) {
          str = str.replace(regexp_replacements[key], key);
        }
        return str === " " ? "" : str;
      }
    }
  }
}

I hope it will be clear enough to help you solve these issues.

Hi,

I am using SearchinGhostEASY with the code below at insert footer, it seems only latin & number works for the search, do you see am I missing anything here?

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/gmfmi/searchinghost-easy@latest/dist/searchinghost-easy-backpack.js"></script>
<script>
    new SearchinGhostEasy({
        contentApiKey: 'xxxxx',
        indexOptions: {
    split: /\s+/,
    encode: function(str) {
        var regexp_replacements = {
            "a": /[àáâãäå]/g,
            "e": /[èéêë]/g,
            "i": /[ìíîï]/g,
            "o": /[òóôõöő]/g,
            "u": /[ùúûüű]/g,
            "y": /[ýŷÿ]/g,
            "n": /ñ/g,
            "c": /[ç]/g,
            "s": /ß/g,
            " ": /[-/]/g,
            "": /['!"#$%&\\()\*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~]/g,
            " ": /\s+/g,
        }
        str = str.toLowerCase();
        for (var key of Object.keys(regexp_replacements)) {
            str = str.replace(regexp_replacements[key], key);
        }
        return str === " " ? "" : str;
    }
},
    });

@yong, the “searchinghostOptions” object declaration is missing. Please copy/paste the following code:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/gmfmi/searchinghost-easy@latest/dist/searchinghost-easy-backpack.js"></script>
<script>
    new SearchinGhostEasy({
        contentApiKey: 'xxxxx',
        searchinghostOptions: {
          indexOptions: {
            split: /\s+/,
            encode: function (str) {
              var regexp_replacements = {
                "a": /[àáâãäå]/g,
                "e": /[èéêë]/g,
                "i": /[ìíîï]/g,
                "o": /[òóôõöő]/g,
                "u": /[ùúûüű]/g,
                "y": /[ýŷÿ]/g,
                "n": /ñ/g,
                "c": /[ç]/g,
                "s": /ß/g,
                " ": /[-/]/g,
                "": /['!"#$%&\\()\*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~]/g,
                " ": /\s+/g,
              }
              str = str.toLowerCase();
              for (var key of Object.keys(regexp_replacements)) {
                str = str.replace(regexp_replacements[key], key);
              }
              return str === " " ? "" : str;
            }
          }
        }
    });
</script>

Then, when you will do some testing, ensure to always use a “private nav” tab or to clear all the data stored for your website domain.

Thank you! That was my bad, I was not attentive and didn’t saw that indexOptions was inside searchinghostOptions:

Thank you again!

Hello @gmfmi

Thank you for making our lives easier with this easy to install plugin! I have some questions and hope you can help me with it.

I am currently using

Ghost version - 4.47.1
Theme - Edition NEWSLETTER

  1. Does SearchinGhostEASY allow us to search by tags? For example, right now my blog only has 1 tag which is Google Cloud Platform. So when I search for Google Cloud Platform, it should show all the articles related to this tag? I tried to search by tags but it doesn’t seem to return all the article related to the tag.

  2. I also did this code injection at the Site Footer following your guide at https://github.com/gmfmi/searchinGhost#options

I have used version 1.1.2 which is the latest version as of now for consistency sake in the future.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/gmfmi/searchinghost-easy@1.1.2/dist/searchinghost-easy-basic.js"></script>
<script>

    new SearchinGhostEasy({
        contentApiKey: '',
        searchinghostOptions: {
        template: function (post) {
   return `<a href="${post.url}">#${post.tags} - ${post.published_at} - ${post.title}</a>`
        }
        }

    });
</script>

When I tried to search, it show me this instead

error
error721×548 53.3 KB

It seems that it’s not able to index the post.tags? Not sure what I did wrong.

I did further testing by editing above code into below code, but still could not make it work. I suppose the default postsFields, postExtraFields and indexedFields have already included everything.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/gmfmi/searchinghost-easy@1.1.2/dist/searchinghost-easy-basic.js"></script>
<script>

    new SearchinGhostEasy({
        contentApiKey: '',
        searchinghostOptions: {
        postsFields:['title', 'url', 'excerpt', 'custom_excerpt', 'published_at', 'feature_image'],
        postExtraFields: ['tags'],
        indexedFields: ['title', 'string_tags', 'excerpt', 'plaintext'],
        template: function (post) {
   return `<a href="${post.url}">#${post.tags} - ${post.published_at} - ${post.title}</a>`
        }
        }

    });
</script>

Hope you could help to clarify my doubts and thank you in advance!
