Search module with specific tag filter

Post by slavoisard2 » Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:02 pm

Hi !
I'm looking for a Search Module for Joomla 4 where I can specify in the back office a specific Tag to filter the results. I want the search to show only articles using a specific tag. Anybody know one like that, I can't find this :(

The feature you are looking for is in the screen "Articles" that lists the articles.

When you are in the screen "Articles", click on the button "Filter Options" that is next to the Search box. One of the Filter options is Tag. This is the dropdown box that shows "- Select Tag -" Once you select a tag, the articles list will be filtered by the tag(s) selected.

Hope this is the feature you are looking for.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a Search function in the front end, not the back end. I want users to be able to search for a content in the site searchbar, but in fact I'm showing only the results with a specific tag.

I think that I misinterpreted your question. I thought that the questions was for the back-end.

If it is front-end, you could create a menu item of the type "Compact List of Tagged Items" or "Tagged Items" to accomplish what you want.

You could also review extensions such as JT Content Filter (https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... nt-filter/) for their suitability to your need.
