2.4 - Released 2024-11-21
- Bug fixes and performance improvements
2.3 - Released 2024-09-10
- Sort and filter toggles are now shown below the search bar and can be interacted with before searching.
- Added the ability to filter search results by date. The default options are; All time, past day, past week, past month and past year, but this is configurable.
- Improved the option to filter search results by taxonomies in a much easier way. This includes authors and sections out of the box as well as any custom taxonomies you may have.
- Search analytics has been adjusted to better reflect user behaviour.
- The SearchResultsLoaded event has been removed as it was firing too frequently. The [pugpigSearch]ResultCount parameter is now attached to the SearchTermClicked event, so you can see how many results are shown on the page when a user has tapped a specific result. SearchTermClicked also tracks the term searched for [using the pugpigSearchTerm (or KGLabel dimension in GA4)].
- The SearchAttempt event now tracks when a user closes the keyboard by either tapping enter or done, but has not yet tapped a result. It also tracks the term a user has searched for but not the result count.
