Thank you

Dbranes comments:

combize comments:

Can you give me Same code to search

Dbranes comments:

can you explain a little bit more what you mean?

combize comments:

Same code just to Search

http://website.com/search/What+day+is+today/
to:
http://website.com/search/What-day-is-today/

Dbranes comments:

ok, but why would you want that ;-)

maybe something like

add_filter('get_search_query', 'my_search');
function my_search($s){
$from="-";
$to="+";
$s=str_replace($from,$to,$s);
return $s;
}


will test it when I get back online later.

combize comments:

It does not work

Dbranes comments:

I'm back, looks like the filter we where hooking into is firing to late.

Try this instead

add_filter('pre_get_posts','my_search2');
function my_search2($query){
if($query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search()){
$from="-";
$to="+";
$query->query_vars['s']=str_replace($from,$to,$query->query_vars['s']);
}
return $query;
}


This should allow you to use - as + in your search query.

combize comments:

Not working
Still have +

Dbranes comments:

This code will enable you to have url like this

http://website.com/search/What-day-is-today/

and it will give you a search result - does this work like that for you?


You also want to replace the url generated from the search forms when you press submit?

(the project is getting longer)

Give me your Skype
I pay you

combize comments:

Still have + in url search I want - in url

Dbranes comments:

There are two parts we need to cover for the "-" enabled search

1) Handle "-" in the search url.
2) Change the search parameter so it contains "-" instead of "+", when we submit the search form.

1) This part should be covered by the code above.
2) For this part we need to use javascript/jQuery:

Here is one idea to change the spaces into minuses (-) when we are writing the search string:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue' );
function my_enqueue() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery');
}

//
// let's add this into the footer just for testing
//
add_filter("wp_footer","my_search_input_fix");
function my_search_input_fix(){
echo '<script>jQuery("input#s").keyup(function() {jQuery(this).val(jQuery(this).val().replace(/\s/g, "-"));});</script>';
}

where we target the keyup event of a text input field with <strong>id="s"</strong>.

If this works for you, then you should save the javascript into a file in your theme directory and enqueue it also.

Dbranes,
Thank you for the help :)
You are the King!!!

Dbranes comments:

Here is a wrap up (with some changes):


add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue' ); // enqueue jQuery
add_filter("wp_footer","my_search_input_fix"); // jQuery stuff to replace space to minus on searchform submit (better if enqueued)
add_filter('pre_get_posts','my_search'); // allow minuses in the search url
//add_filter( 'wp_unique_post_slug', 'my_slug'); // change post slug

function my_enqueue() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery');
}
function my_search_input_fix(){
echo '
<script>
jQuery("form#searchform").submit(function() {
jQuery("input#s").val(jQuery("input#s").val().replace(/\s/g, "-"));
});
</script>';
}
function my_search($query){
if($query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search()){
$query->query_vars['s']=str_replace("-"," ",$query->query_vars['s']);
}
return $query;
}
function my_slug($slug){
$from="-";
$to="_";
$slug = str_replace($from,$to,$slug);
return $slug;
}
