Indexing

All filters are layouts that you can override. The search input box uses the lnepsearch.php layout and can be overridden as well (more layout information in the Layout overrides section).

Top filter panel

Search Show or hide a search field on the page (the search will look through titles, text intro, category names and authors).
Joomla 3.7+ Custom fields of types text, text area and editor are included in the search, if you are showing any.
K2 in the K2 blog, extra fields are not included (this is a database limitation).
Note The search field does not allow complex searches at this time. It does, however, allow multiple words, separated with a blank space
New
Search label
Show or hide the label for the search field. To change, override the language key: COM_LATESTNEWSENHANCEDPRO_SEARCH
Search options Show advanced search options under the search field.

The users will be able to fine tune their search with all words (fields must contain all the words present), any words (fields may contain any of the words) and exact phrase (fields must contain the exact sentence).

Example tada todo in the search field will search for:

  • all words: tada and todo
  • any word: tada or todo
  • exact phrase: 'tada todo'

Note The extension does not output strict matches. For instance, when looking for 'todo', the search will return contacts which contain 'todo' but also contacts which contain words containing 'todo'.

Default option Determine which option (all / any / exact) you want to make available as default
