Tumblr “tag search box”
*New tutorial here: http://justcantdescribeu.tumblr.com/post/15075241123*
OMFG FUCKK YEAAAH, finally found a piece of client side code that enables my search box to turn into a “tag search box”, where after submitting the query, it would return with results of “/tagged/{SearchQuery}” instead of relying on Tumblr’s shitty search algorithm that doesn’t even work.
Essentially, I made my search button into the equivalent of “Search all of Tumblr” (for tags), except personalized for my own blog.
I originally submitted 2 requests to Carlo Franco (the creator of this theme), via his Ask, but he seemed to be ignoring me or not responding, so I took matters into my own hands (AKA google.com). A little code snippet and a few customizations later, and voila!
You can now search the “Search my tags!” to get a results page of http://justcantdescribeu.tumblr.com/tagged/{SearchQuery} <<<whatever you searched in the box. Now I can keep track of my posts without going to the dashboard!
I always tag my posts accordingly, so if you want to search up all the video posts I made, search the tag “video” in the box, and it’ll show all the video clips I’ve posted. Same goes with images, text, quotes, music, and so on.
I’m so happy right now, haha. I’ve been trying to do this for a month or two, and finally cracked the solution today. It may seem like a piece of cake to you advanced programmers or theme-makers out there, but I feel great self accomplishment since I have NO idea how to write in HTML/PHP/CSS, or anything related to coding.
