I was wondering if there is a way to extend the search functions so that its possible to also include taxonomy, especially tags.
I took a quick look at you code and you seem to use a search app from DWBooster http://wordpress.dwbooster.com/content-tools/search-in-place but it seems that only part of the functionality is available through the backend in Theme Options>Live Search
It would be great if it was possible to access the Taxonomy search feature. Is this possible?
Hi there, that is the plugin the live search is based on, although it was forked specifically to work with MightyMag. Extending the search to taxonomies I guess would be possibile through some custom coding, unfortunately that goes beyond the scope of regular theme support though.
I have been in touch with the Authors of "search in place" who have taken some time to look at the implementation of this within MightyMag which in their words 'seems to be quite complex'. If I purchased and installed the pro version of the "search in place" application how much is this likely to effect the functionality of MightyMag?
What files do I need to look at to change. I see that there is coding in the functions.php and you seem to have adapted files in the inc/live-search directory.
Any help would be appreciated.
Or do you have any plans to increase the search capabilities within Mighty Mag, I'm sure other customers would also see this as a benefit.
that should be enough to avoid any conflict (I recommend to do this before activating the plugin).
Of course this way you'll be able to use the plugin updated to its latest features, but you'll most likely lose the integration with the MightyMag header search bar and some custom work would be needed to restore it back.

Hi there,
Yes "quite complex integration" is mainly the same I meant put in different words :)
If you decide to go with the official paid plugin, you may want to disable the built-in functionality by commenting out line 117 of functions.php
include_once('inc/live-search/live-search.php'); //Live Searchthat should be enough to avoid any conflict (I recommend to do this before activating the plugin).
