Tags

Spyglass performs a text search on entry titles and custom fields.

Spyglass performs very fast searches on plain text content stored in most types of fieldtypes as well as matrix column data.

Features

  • Based on {exp:channel:entries} tag, allowing any of it’s parameters to be used in addition to the keyword search - this allows very powerful search forms to be built
  • Provides all of the variables, conditional variables, and variable pairs provided by {exp:channel:entries}
  • Fast database based search based on keywords
  • No more redirect to a search results page: Spyglass directly runs the search when data is available in GET or POST
  • Form tag provides access to GET and POST variables without the need for another extension
  • Search queries can be bookmarked
  • Automatic and customizable excerpting
  • Automatic keyword highlighting in excerpts
