2 new plugins in the market: 1) QR Reader - reads QR codes. Can be either a URL or an itemId of a screen in your app. 2) Advanced Search - search all screens in your app, including their content. In iOS, the content can be HTML or Microsoft Office documents. In Android, only HTML will be searched. The content for these screens will be cached when the screen is loaded, so it may take a bit the first time it is loaded if you have a lot of online content. But then those screens should load quickly since the data will already be in cache!

Love the advanced search!

Nice work Chris!!

Super awesome! Your search plugin blows mine away ten-fold, what an awesome feature to search actual HTML content. QR code scanner is perfect for my little side business too. Thanks! David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

QR is perfect!

Does it search custom HTML screens as well as HTML documents bundled with the app in the BT_Docs folder?

Yep. If it has a dataURL that points to a HTML document, it will search it

good stuff Chris, looking forward to seeing what else pops up in the market. Exciting times

Will it search menu items also?

Any chance of PDF search in the future?

@Niraj - not sure what you mean exactly. Most menus in Buzztouch apps consist of menu items that link to screens. The screens are already indexed by my search plugin, unless you're dynamically creating them rather than connecting them through your control panel. Do you have menu items that don't point to screens in an app? @BranX26 - PDF's are a bit more challenging. Not as easy to turn them into searchable text due to the complicated way they're created.

Hi, I tried to install the plugin on my self-hosted admin control panel, I got this: Error! Error un-zipping archive (1) Then I tried to upload vi ftp to my server, then I got this message: /plugins/cr_advanced_search directory contents are invalid because... index.php OR index.html required for the control panel any suggestions?

Self-hosted isn't updated yet to be able to install the new format for plugins. I know David Book is working hard on it, and there will be a good forum post once it's ready. Hang tight.

Hi Chris I installed advance search. I have problem. pl. help. 1. Back space does not work in search field. If I by mistake type some error search and try to rectify by pressing back space it does not work. 2. Android back button also don't work after coming to search menu. 3. I have made 254 list items with HTMLs it takes a very long to display search page. if i want to switch off html search and only search list view is it possible??? Pl help my app is ready to publish only waiting for these errors to get solved. thanks

I love the advanced search for iOS but am having some issues getting it to work in android 3.0. First off, I keep getting a warning at the following line: private String cachedData = ""; Then, when I launch the app, the row background is black regardless of what I change in the json file. And, when I try to type a search string, nothing appears... I assume because of the cachedDate issue above. Any thoughts? Josh

Josh - can you add that to the list at buzz-tools.com?

added

Josh - I'm unable to replicate this issue. Can you try it again with the latest update and see if you still have the problem?

I tried with new update, seems to be working now except for the fact that the search string doesn't show... which I can live with. Thanks!
