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.

Hola Aliciia,
Antes que nada gracias por hacer un plugin que es único, ningun otro da esta funcionalidad.
La cuestión es que al restaurar la base de datos de un WordPress Multisite hay 3 tablas v_posts, v_comments y v_postmeta que no se crean y que son de tu plugin.
La cuestión es que ahora el plugin no funciona y me gustaría crear las tablas pero desconozco su estructura, puedo consultarlo en algún lugar.
Gracias!
Hello Alicia !
The languages aren’t contained in the archive. Do you know how i can access to the french translation ?
Thanks a lot for this plugin !
Cyprien
@Cyprien Sorry, I don’t know why the translation files are not in the archive. I’ve just resolved the problem. Version 1.2.7 include all translation files: French, German, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian and Russian.
Thanks!
Alicia
Hi,
I installed the plugin and had several days of successful use, now after adding a few pages (maybe unrelated) I always get a search not found result. I added a «Search Everything» plugin but deactivated it.
This happened to me once before on another installation where the Global Search plugin just stopped working. Any ideas or suggestions?
Frank
I got the plugin working again after reinstalling a couple times.
A couple questions, I get no results when I use multiple terms, is this usual.
Second is there any way together search term highlighting.
Frank
I installed Multisite Global Search, and set it to search on pages, but it’s only searching on some pages. Basically, am using WPMU to create a site similar to etsy.com, so using the MarketPress Theme for eCommerce. MarketPress let’s you create Products, and my understanding is that each Product is a separate Page. Multisite Global Search is searching regular pages, but not Product pages (which is what I need).
Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Don
Hi,
Thanks for great plugin.
I find when doing a search for keyword1 keyword2 it only returns exact matches as if I’m searching for a phrase even without using quotes. So if an article is like «keyword1 keyword3 keyword2» it won’t be included in the result.
Is there an easy way to fix that?
Thank you

Replace this:
if(get_query_var( ‘msp’ )) {
$post_type = «( post_type = ‘post’ OR post_type = ‘page’ )»;
} else {
$post_type = «post_type = ‘post'»;
}
For this:
if(get_query_var( ‘msp’ )) {
$post_type = «( post_type = ‘post’ OR post_type = ‘page’ OR post_type=’product’)»;
} else {
$post_type = «(post_type = ‘post’ OR post_type = ‘product’)»;
}
@Soroush I’ve just resolved your problem. Download version 1.2.8
Thanks for using my plugin 🙂
