Default Search Range

[Iain Bluett]

Is it possible to search “all” events, rather than only events “this month”? For example, if you search my site for “taco” it responds with “There were no results found for “taco” this month. Try searching next month.” –

Can I change the default search settings so that it searches all future events?

Thanks,

[Nico]

Howdy Ianin,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us. I’ll help you here…

Per default each event view searches for events in it’s scope, so Month view searches events on the displayed month, Week view on the displayed week and Day view does the same on the current day. List View search will include all upcoming events. At the time there is no setting to modify this.

What you can do is modify the search query parameters to alter the results. In that case I can point you in the right direction but you’ll need to write some custom code.

Please let me know what you think about it,
Best,
Nico

Good to hear!

Here’s a basic snippet to inspect / alter the query parameters…


function filter_search_query ( $query ) {
if ( ! empty( $_REQUEST['tribe-bar-search'] ) ) {
//print_r($query);
}

return $query;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_events_pre_get_posts', 'filter_search_query');


If you uncomment the print_r line, you’ll get a dump of the query parameters. To view this use the browser console network tab and inspect the ajax call for search.

Please let me know if you follow,
Best,
Nico
