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 is available and relevant:
Sticky Post Management Add-ons
· Sticky Any Post: This add-on allows you to "stick" the first post of a thread across all pages of that thread, on a per-forum basis. It provides granular permissions for who can sticky or unsticky posts, but it does not prioritize sticky posts in search results or modify search functionality to elevate sticky threads above others[1][2].
· There is community interest in being able to assign custom priorities to sticky topics, so that certain stickies (like rules or welcome threads) always appear at the very top, but this feature is not natively available in XenForo 2 or through major add-ons as of now[3].
Archive and Search Add-ons
· [Xen-Soluce] Add-on Archive Improvements: This add-on enhances the install/upgrade-from-archive process but does not affect forum search or sticky post prioritization[4].
· There are no add-ons in the official XenForo resources that specifically allow searching archived threads and prioritizing sticky posts in those search results.
Community Discussions
· Multiple threads indicate users want the ability to sticky posts within a thread or to always show the opening post, but these features are limited to thread display, not search or archive prioritization[5].
Summary Table
Conclusion
No current XenForo 2 add-on directly provides search of archives with prioritization of sticky posts in search results. You may need to request custom development or monitor XenForo’s add-on community for future updates addressing this functionality[3][1][4].
