Search in discussion

Silvestrus

I'm not sure if this feature already exists, but I would like to enable search in discussion. Long discussions are not searchable by using browser search since Flarum uses lazy load and not all content is shown to be searchable. It is difficult to find something in long discussions.

If there is something already available, please let me know. If not, it would be nice to have this feature somehow.

Silvestrus I haven't tested it, but this extension seems to enable searching within discussions.

huseyinfiliz it requires Backoffice extension which I prefer not to use.

Silvestrus Backoffice is just a library of re-usable components in this case.

Unfortunately Flarum 1.x has no means to register re-usable javascript components without making it an extension. If there was a transparent solution that didn't require enabling 2 extensions, I would have used it, but it's just not possible at the moment. Duplicating the same code across all my extensions would also be a waste of time, so that's the solution used. To the end user, it makes zero difference.

clarkwinkelmann thanks for the explanation. I will try it out.
