Adding shortcode or additional code to search results.

[gabe80Participant]

Hi there.
I have looked through the available filters and the plugin API and can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. If I have…please point me in the right direction 🙂

I would like to add a short code, or regular PHP code, into the info that is included in each search result box. So when my searches come up I can have title, content, date, etc….and I see how to modify that through your panel… I want to add a shortcode for a bookmark app so as you scroll through results you can add them to a favorites list…a la the Netflix UI. I can’t see where to actually add a code snippet with a filter or through the control panel.

Thank you for your time.

Hi!

You are looking for the asp_results hook. That lets you make changes to the result items before they are printed.
To run a shortcode, you can use this sample to start with:

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_results_code', 10, 1 );
function asp_custom_results_code( $results ) {

	foreach ($results as $k=>&$r) {
	  	$r-content = do_shortcode('[shortcode_name post_id=' . $r->id . ']') . $r-content;
	}

	return $results;
}

Best,
Ernest Marcinko
