Any update on the search plugin/component? It looks fantastic!

David:

If you create a custom function you can rebuild the search form:

function custom_search_form() {
?>my search form html }
add_filter( ‘bp_search_form’, ‘custom_search_form’ );

Andy,

I see that in the latest build but how do you override that function without touching the core files? Do you have to edit the actual header.php file in the buddypress member theme?

In the latest revision you can use the filter “bp_search_form” to do whatever you like to the top header search form.

oh, that’s really great thing! keep doing it better!
Maybe, you could just filter the functions that creates searchbox? And replacing it with your own form? I’m not sure that it’s posible, but just an idea…

Thanks for that lengthy reply!

Is there anyway to override or change the search box in the header without changing core files?
