Search tag for all content, not just articles.
Since I use a lot of pages with static text that is not within an Article, I’m wondering if I can create a Search tag that will show results of non-article content.

Re: Search tag for all content, not just articles.
Failing that (which only searches article fields not Pages/Forms etc, which is what I assume you mean) you’ll probably need smd_query or some PHP, although your code is going to be messy if you want to include/exclude certain forms/pages. And it’ll search your tags too so someone looking for txp or head for instance will find pages with any TXP tags in them and/or pages that have a <head> HTML tag!
Can you move the non-article content into articles in a ‘hidden’ section (one that’s not linked from your site navigation at least) and then use article_custom to call it into your page flow where necessary? Or create a load of txp:variables in a single form that is included on every page so you can then use <txp:variable name="my_content"> to display it?
In a similar vein, the adi_variables plugin might help here to allow you to create the content from a simple management pane and then include it later.
