Search links

I can’t find it in the manual:

Is there a way to search not only through articles, but through links too?

I have a page for links in my site, but when you do a search for one of the words in the link title or description, I get no results back.

Or should I just make an article category named links, and a form to show them as links?

Thanks

Re: Search links

Well I read your post yesterday and have a separate links section myself so I tried experimenting but couldn’t get links to come up in the search at all and my links have descriptions which I thought might be searchable so I’m stumped.

tfu_linklog – don’t know if this might help. I’ve not used it myself.

Re: Search links

Thanks, thebombsite

It looks promising, but the search in tfu_linklog only searches links (as far as I can tell). I want to be able to have a search that gives results from articles and links.

I’ll have to decide if to convert all my links into articles (my site is new, so I don’t have that many), or if to have two separate searches…

Re: Search links

That might be an idea if you can have both search boxes on the same page. As I don’t use a sidebar my search box has a page all to itself so I might look at that myself. :)

Re: Search links

I’d rather have just one search for all… I’ll have to change all my links into articles…
