Cant search pressing enter on Live search

asked 8 years ago

Hi,
I’m enjoying this plugin alot, but now I’m at a dead end with a issue on live search box.
I thought it was a problem with my wordpress, but your demo also has that problem (http://demo.designwall.com/#dw-question-answer)

The problem is that the live search (the big search box) only let’s users browse questions related to the written word, if user wants to really search he can’t. By pressing ENTER nothing happens and write after live search starts to work the search icon disappears and not be able to search the website completely.

This is frustrating because if users posts a very common word he can’t search in a normal way, he only sees a dropdown of previous questions.

Is there a fix for this?

thanks alot.

@john Allen : hi , about the main search, it’s our function to suggest, find question( just for question only ) with key word, the searching action here not happen when you press "Enter", i’ll automatically check the "words" when the words change ( about 1s delay ). If you want the main search as you mention, i think you could use your theme search, questions still are post in the database , so the theme search can search the question.

Thanks for the feedback, that’s why I’ve added theme search. Anyways my suggestion for next release would be to make your main search a live one and also a normal one, with the enter option. Good luck with your work and thanks for this great plugin.
