“CustomFieldsSearch”, searching MT’s custom fields

I’m sure that lots of Movable Type’s developers want to search within MT’s custom fields data, from the published website’s page.

If we can do it, we can use MT like a web application framework.

Now, you can do it, with “CustomFieldsSearch” plugin.

“CustomFieldsSearch” had been developed by Taku Amano about one and half years ago, and now a lot of MT developers use it.

Taku is an author of “ToI information”, and an developer of “CKEditor” for Movable Type 5.

With this plugin, you can develop your own web application.

You can dowload the latest version of CustomFieldsSearch from Google Code.

The CustomFieldsSearch plugin also can search within entry and page data. For example,

<input type="hidden" name="CustomFieldsSearchClassType" value="entry" />

You can ignore these entry’s data, to lighten a search process, with “CustomFieldsSearchIgnore” tag.

<input type="hidden" name="CustomFieldsSearchIgnore" value="EntryTitle" />

<input type="hidden" name="CustomFieldsSearchIgnore" value="EntryBody" />

<input type="hidden" name="CustomFieldsSearchIgnore" value="EntryMore" />

<input type="hidden" name="CustomFieldsSearchIgnore" value="EntryKeywords" />

You can access to the sample site developed by Taku.

Please visit the sample page and check the functions.
