How does it work?

After the Forum Search Plug-in is integrated into your system, your visitors will see a forum search box on the page. To find forum files they simply type search terms into the search box and click the "Search" button. The plug-in will find forum files which have the search terms in the title, alt-text, etc. attributes. The visitor will receive a page with a list of these forum files sorted by relevance.

  • Manage XML Feeds Settings
  • Manage Organic Search Settings
