The search system for XenForo 1.1 has had some attention, and now includes the ability to include members in search results, adds profile posts to the search index and allows more control over where to search, including one constraint that has been (extremely) frequently requested ever since we first developed the search system.

Will this replace the need of big board search issues?

Ahh, that handles a few of my gripes. All that's left is Global RSS feed!
Didn't someone make a plugin for this?

Yes, but it should be a core feature.

Wondering if it would be possible to add an "older than" option (just to the advanced search page) ... I have had need in the past to track down old posts and if the search term is common enough, usually they are buried so far back in the results that you effectively can't find them.
It might also be useful to be able to order by "oldest" as well.
I assume there is a maximum number of search results returned - as such, it becomes effectively impossible to search for relatively frequent terms from posts older than a certain date, since there is currently no way of limiting the search results to posts sufficiently old to actually include them in the results.

Yes, the entire search system is open, so add-ons can add their own content types to the search system in the same way as we added profile posts.

Yes, you can see it live in action with my page comments add-on: http://ragtek.org/xenforo/search/?type=ragtek_pagecomment
e.g. => search for: usefulness
it will be also found by the global search => http://ragtek.org/xenforo/search/
only "what's new" is limited to threads

Nice !!!!!!
Kier: could this be considered for improving ?only "what's new" is limited to threads
[What's new?] is so important. Really it is more important to have non-forum data in [What's new?] than the search queries.

How easy will it be for 3rd party apps to include there own fields into the navbar search form?
(e.g=> i'm on a xf page and want to include "search only the comments from this page" into the searchform?
is it done via "xen:set" ?

The 'What's New' you see is located under the forum section of the navigation. It shows new forum content only by design.
Kinda...
HTML:
<xen:container var="$searchBar.mySearchConstraint">
<label><input type="checkbox" ... />...</label>

I see the logic in the design.
What I wanted to discuss was the benefit the Xenforo Customers and the hard working Addon makers would get from being able to get their non-forum content in [What's New?].

Yeah, it's VERY cool it's finally done in this very logical manner. Glad it made it into 1.1

Is this still slated for 1.1 or will it be released later now ?
