bpn Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thanks Joel, I suggest this as a standard option. Has IPS commented on this before? Would be interesting to hear why such an obvious function is not implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpn Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 We used a hook for this in 3.x and my impression is that it got far more use that the built-in search. Most of our site is indexed by Google. Unfortunately it wasn't updated for 4.x. Hence my suggestion, primary functionality should be native, 3. party tends to become obsolete.

I was only pointing out that it had been updated for IPS 4.x - renewed interest could get the developer (or another developer interested in taking on the project) to update it - IF it needs updating at all. Not all addons designed to work with 4.1 won't work with 4.2 - it all depends on how the addon is written and what it relies on to integrate with IPS.
