Thanks for this Plugin

Any chance of a Match Case / Case insensitive toggle?

That depends on how the database is configured. If the columns we are searching are BINARY then I can do it easily. If not I might have to see if it’s possible to fake it. I’ll see what I can do.

Updated the code to make a (possibly temporary) fix to the above.

Seems gone. No two-/three-way conflicts. And I’ve got plugins installed … :)

Took the day off yesterday from rattling plugin-dev cages and look what happens… mr.purple adds the feature I tried to ask for, but that my sixteen-word vocabulary would not allow me to describe (back in #4).

Viva la Orphans!

Brilliant Stef,

I use lower case for form names and Capitals for Pages & Sections so this is a big help.

Thanks
Geoff

This is one of the “once you have it you find 1000 uses for it” things. Really glad you wrote it, Stef! Helps me keep my head above water ;)

Excellent.

It’s actually changed my workflow in a way I hadn’t anticipated. I now have my first Firefox tab with the ‘Where used’ tab inside it and whenever I’m editing a form and need to find another form or article I’ve referenced, I CTRL-1 back to the first tab, type the name, search and then middle-click the form/page/article to open it in a new tab for editing.

Surprised myself with how useful it is. Not bad for a little over a day’s work making 8 revisions!

Replace the only incidence of
keywords
with
keywords,custom_1,custom_2,custom_3,custom_4,custom_5,custom_6,custom_7,custom_8,custom_9,custom_10,url_title
for custom field and url title search. (to be unelegantly ramped up further for glz_cf)

Would caption/alt support be possible, Stef?

Not directly as you’ve done with the custom fields there. It doesn’t check the txp_image table… yet.

The only thing with allowing all these options all the time is that the more places you add to the search, the more specific you have to be when searching so you don’t find things you don’t want. Otherwise you trade the ease of searching with having to wade thru stuff you didn’t want to find! That’s why I didn’t add custom fields in the plugin because they’re so generic.

However, I would like to enhance the plugin eventually so that you can choose where it looks instead of it being fixed in the code. But that would require a truckload more checkboxes/some jQuery magic or a prefs/setup button which is a lot more code than I have time for right now. It’s on the TODO list, if I can figure out how to do it cleanly.
