Search option

Hi I've had a look on the posts here about a search bar option for the app. So far I understand the only way to do this (for Iphone) is downloading via BT mods? What I don't understand is that you have an option on every menu to hide/show from seacrh results? Is there a way of adding a native ios search bar within the app?

Hiya! 1) Mr. David has a search plugin currently in the Plugin Market that will search through screen titles and provide results. https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=DED9871D84E57D757DC2828 2) The 'option' to include/exclude from search results is for a plugin developer to have the option to exclude superfluous screens from a search result. (Currently Mr. Davis is the only person to release a search plugin on the market, but I and others have created our own versions for more targeted requirements.) These searches are (usually) searching within the BT_config.txt file or some other designated file, and not any content (such as PDF files, HTML Files, etcetera) that is in your app, or downloaded to your app. 3) I guess it depends on what you want to search 'for', but the blanket answer is 'yes, that can be done'. If the plugin from Mr. David does not suit your needs, or you just want to try and build something yourself, the place I got my start was here: http://www.appcoda.com/how-to-add-search-bar-uitableview/ Keep in mind a menu is merely a tableview used in a particular manner. If you're going to build your own from 'scratch' you might want to consider 'cloning' the simple menu plugin and modifying it to suit your needs. This has the advantage of being 'buzztouch ready', if you're not familiar with how things need to 'connect'. Cheers! -- Smug
