Your search box, finally paying attention to where you are. By default, XenForo's search box always defaults to "Everywhere" — no matter where you're looking. Browsing a forum? Reading a thread? Sifting through your Media Gallery? Doesn't matter — every search starts from scratch, scoped to the...

Currently, XenForo's search feature only returns excerpts of posts. I suggest adding the ability to show search results as full posts.

From Perplexity. Any interest out there? Are there any add-ons for xenforo 2 that search archives and prioritize sticky posts? There are currently no XenForo 2 add-ons that specifically combine both searching forum archives and prioritizing sticky (pinned) posts in search results. Here’s what...

Has anyone tried the search function add on: ElasticSearh? We have a problem regarding the built in search function in Xenforo. The problem occurs when we add a dot ( ".") within a word, it would mess up the search function and said the search was too short, too long or too common. We are hoping...

1. A tab of Threads Started for a user to find their threads easily. I don't seem to be able to attach an image so, the suggestion is to put this on the user profile tabs. Otherwise the user has to make the leap and realise that "Search titles and first posts only" also applies to the "By:"...

Not certain this is a bug, per se. It may indicate that the search system is a little bit borked, or it may just be working as expected... Normally, when I try to look at posts by a member, I'm used to it delivering 10 pages at a time of posting history until it runs out. Typical process: if...

When I'm going to a forum I'm going to do one of three things. 1. Read an unread thread. 2. Search for a thread. 3. Create a thread (which 50% of the time requires searching for an existing one first). There should be a search bar next to the create quick thread area so that I can instantly...

Hi, is it possible to perform search from XenForo, but include search results from external php/mysql web app? Any API calls or Add-ons available for that? Thank you.
