    Hello my Gd advanced search it returning Ajax results for posts. I don’t think it’s normal behavior. Can you please check to see what the problem is?

    Thank you.

    At the home page please type in “test”

    When the ajax auto complete loads, it shows a post and a listing. Shouldn’t it only be listings? I don’t want posts showing up in the search.

    Thank you.

    Oh I see! But shouldn’t the search only return listings? How can I remove tags or any other content from appearing in the search?

    Thank you.

    No, it also searches tags and categories, this is a good thing, i am not sure why anyone would want to disable that, i don’t even think we have a hook to disable it 🙂

    I am trying to use tags to link blog entries to certain listings. That’s why I don’t want tags to appear in the search. Unless you have another idea? On the blog page I show the listing, and since I cannot show specific listings by name or ID number, I call the listing to the blog entry by tag. So its an internal tag and not meant to be utilized by users.

    Can this be customized at all or will it break the functionality of the search?

    The blog tags and the GD tags are separate, i’m not sure how you think you can link them?

    Hi Stiofan, I am adding a tag to the place listing, then I am making a blog post and placing a listing widget that shows that particular listing using a shortcode with the tag name,since I am not able to call listings in the widgets by Id number, this seemed like my only option.

    Thank you.

    There is no way to disable the terms in search autocomplete just now, if you need that ability i can add a filter.

    Hi, if you could add a filter to disable tags, that would be excellent.

    Thank you.
