Details & Setup
Description
Search & Filter is a simple search and filtering plugin for WordPress – it is an advancement of the WordPress search box.
You can search by Category, Tag, Custom Taxonomy, Post Type, Post Date or any combination of these easily to really refine your searches – remove the search box and use it as a filtering system for your posts and pages. Fields can be displayed as dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons or multi selects.
This is the free version of the plugin. Its limitations in comparison to the Pro version are:
- It doesn’t use ajax to display results (filtering by more than 2 taxonomies at a time may not display proper results)
- It doesn’t have a drag and drop interface, only a manual shortcode
- It doesn’t include jQuery range slider, date pickers and auto-complete comboboxes for selects and multiselects
When to Use Search & Filter (Free Version)
Use this plugin on Premium or Woo sites only, if a customer specifically requests a search or filter option beyond the default. It’s typically good for sites with posts with multiple taxonomies, multiple attributes or custom post types created with pods.
