Skills Plugin Advanced Search
You can create a more advanced search by defining the form manually. This allows you to use an extra input field, called
topicsearch
. The
topicsearch
field searches the contents of the topic (inluding meta data) and requires this to match as well as the skill search. This can be used to search for a particular office location/country, such as CambridgeOffice or Germany. Obviously its not perfect, someone may have just referenced Germany in their topic and it may not be their location, but it can still be useful.
Below is how an advanced skill search might look with a topic search text box. View the source code of the page to see how it is made (starts at
<!-- ADVANCED_SKILL_SEARCH -->
).
