Je voulais savoir si il existait un paramètre dans la fonction recherche. Ce paramètre serait de faire la recherche que dans certaines catégories. Oui, je sais qu’on peut le faire en tapant dans la recherche le nom de la catégorie mais je veux simplifier la vie de mes utilisateurs. merci

Would changing the search priority in the category settings work for you? That could make it way more likely for users to find topics from that category. You can experience that here on Meta by searching in support , which has a low priority so you find most topics from the subcategories like self-ho…

You can do this using Advanced Header Search . Here’s a sample config: [image] Advanced Header Search Below is an example of what I did inside our Gitlab Category. You can see in our header search bar that as soon as we type a search term(in this case pipeline) you can search the gitlab forum(cli…

merci pour l’info mais je ne veux pas faire de recherche externe mais dans discourse que dans certaines catégories

That’s exactlywhat i mean. You want to config it with the link for your category and add a “q?=” if i remember correctly. Here’s a sample link from meta: Search results for 'test #support:self-hosting' - Discourse Meta You need to config it with your category icon.

I just made a test, and if you set the “prefix” for “/search?context=category&context_id=YOUR_CATEGORY_ID_HERE&q=”, it’s works fine. here’s a preview, using the category id 8 and searching for “lara”: [preview]

Merci de ton aide je vais tester :+1:

je l’ai testé et merci @David_Ghost pour son aide mais je ne le trouve pas intuitif sur son utilisation. Je vais essayer de développer une autre façon. Il faut savoir que les utilisateurs compare toujours tout à d’autres logiciels et que c’est déjà assez compliqué de les faire venir ou rester …

Hi @gilles , I have tested it, and I thank @David_Ghost for their assistance; however, I do not find its use intuitive. I’m wondering if you could give a bit more detail about what you tried here, and what result you got. Perhaps you could share some screenshots?

Bonjour @Tris20 , Je voulais une recherche qui cherche dans deux catégories simultanément sur le forum tout en restant sur la page du forum.
