Anyone have any pointers on how to get the local search pepper to work with vBulletin?
I have the path set as “/forum/search.php” and the query set as “searchid”. Unfortunately, this only returns the id number that the search was assigned.
using local search pepper with vbulletin
vBulletin converts GET-searches to a POST-search, because of this the Local Searches Pepper maybe don’t work.
Try setting in the preferences Query to query, but I think this won’t work.
vBulletin uses the POST method, caches the search results and then redirects to those results (hence the searchid) so there’s nothing for the Local Searches Pepper to grab onto and identify as a search term.
I have tried local search with phpbb and I get the same problems as xenizo. It seems it doesn’t work. Will look into it and post back. Tx
There’s a vB mod that can log and report stats on searches. You can find that at vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=153072
I think it would be nice to do this through mint, although it is a problem with how vB returns search results.
sorry can’t help with vb, and I have no solution for phpbb. local search works very well with wordpress though
