Easily search through all blogs into your WordPress Multisite posts by post title, post content or post author. Multisite Global Search doesn’t work with single WordPress installation and it must be activated for all sites using «network activate» in the plugins admin panel.
This plugin is based on my other global search plugin, WPMU Global Search. It has some new features but if you want to keep using the older version of WordPress MU, you can install my other plugin.
Currently in the following languages:
- English (en_GB)
- French (fr_FR) by Fabrice Perrinel
- German (de_DE) by Dennis Vorpahl
- Norwegian Bokmal (nb_NO) by Tore Johnny Bråtveit
- Portuguese (pt_PT) by José Anjos
- Romanian (ro_RO) by Alexander Ovsov Web Geek Science
- Russian (ru_RU) by Sam Savinov
- Serbian (sr_RS) by Andrijana Nikolic http://science.webhostinggeeks.com/multisite-global-search
- Slovak (sk_SK) by Branco WebHostingGeeks.com
- Spanish (es_ES)
If you have created your own language pack, or have an update of an existing one, you can send gettext .po and .mo files to me so that I can bundle it into Multisite Global Search.

@Frank When you search something like keyword1 keyword2 the plugin returns exact matches but in the new version 1.2.8 this problem is resolve, now when you search keyword1 keyword2 the plugin returns matches regardless of the order.
I don’t know which problem you can have when you create pages, if I find something, I’ll write you.
Thanks!!
Hi! Thanks for great plugin, but I have 2 questions (questions)
1) Is there a way to set number of search results per page? When I get a lot of results even my right sidebar is not loading
2) Some users put different codes in posts (table for example) that destroys results page as tables tags have not been closed. Is there a way to show results as thumbnail left align (if exist) and code and format free text?
Will appreciate your reply
Hello There,
does you plugin support Arabic Search support.
if not what can be done to add Arabic language.
Thanking you in advance
@Abbas I think there’s no problems with Arabic language if you send me gettext .po and .mo files, I can try it.
hola Adriana, antes que nada, genial este plugin!
Te consulto porque estoy intentando lograr estos dos puntos:
– highlight amarillo sobre la palabra buscada, en los resultados de búsqueda
– incluir los datos de usario (biografía, nombre, etc.) y campos personalizados de posts, en los resultados de búsqueda (como hace el plugin Search Everything)
Por casualidad están contemplada estas posibilidades en el plugin Multisite Global Search?
gracias!!!
Octavio
@Octavio me alegra que mi plugin sirva a otras personas.
Marcar la palabra buscada es una de las mejoras que quiero añadir en una futura versión 2.0 pero para ello tengo que sacar tiempo libre.
Apunto el segundo punto, ampliar la información que se puede mostrar como resultado de búsqueda, para esa futura versión.
Si incorporas estas mejoras al plugin, y te parece bien, me gustaría poder incluirlas, siempre indicándote como colaborar en el desarrollo del plugin.
Gracias!
Alicia
Adriana, gracias por tu pronta respuesta. Necesitaría consultarte un tema al respecto. Me pasarías un mail? saludos
@Octavio mi nombre es Alicia 😉 Puedes escribirme a aliciagh at usal.es, es el mismo email que está indicado en el código del plugin.
Hello,
thanks for the great plugin!
But there´s one problem: when I´m searching for a keyword, that doesn´t exist in any post, I´ll receive a blank page. There should be a message, that something with this keyword couldn´t be found.
Have I forgotten to install something? Or could you resolve this problem?
Thanks and best regards,
