Plugin Review – BuddyPress Global Search
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/installation/
Version Tested: V 1.1.9
BuddyPress Global Search is a plugin that can create a unified search facility for your entire BuddyPress site, adding all the BuddyPress components into the search if desired. It extends the functionality of the existing site search.
This is an extremely simple and effective plugin, after installing and activating this plugin you need to go to Dashboard>>BuddyBoss>>Global Search to configure the BuddyPress components that will be included in the site search.
Once that is done wherever your search widget is, it will search pages, posts and your desired BuddyPress components too.
Great plugin – 10 out of 10!

Great Search plugin for BuddyPress
It is great search plugin for BuddyPress! [...]Ignore all the bad reviews and ratings.
Although it is not updated since 2019 the plugin works perfectly with WordPress 5.7 and BuddyPress 7.2.1
It works great with global search, finding everything in blog posts, pages, users profiles, BP activity stream and everything you sett it for.
It even puts the results in tabs, to show where the results are found.
I see complains about the HTML structure.
The HTML structure is perfect with theme Newspaper. I had to make one only small adjustment for margin.
I highly recommend this plugin.
Thank you, devs!
Great work!
Please, for the users piece of mind, update this plugin with new date. Read more »

Works for BuddyPress, sucks for WordPress
This plugin is great downgrade to built in posts search, it will hardly find any WordPress post, horrible experience.
This plugin will find BuddyPress members and some similar things if you know what exactly to search in BuddyPress.

HTML structure is horrible
Provides a good ajax search for every post type, and works great. [...]
But the search results page form's HTML structure is horrible: it uses br tags everywhere and absolute positioning, and has the serach icon not inside a common div block with the search button, which makes it a pain to fix integration problems with CSS. Read more »

Great plugin & support
The plugin works great and does exactly what it says.
I really appreciate that support agreed to my request of adding an apply_filter to their code that enables us to implement a customization we needed, thank you so much for that!

Neat, doesn't work
Very nice. The Ajax search works. But, when I click on all results, it breaks my search results page. It must be the way my theme is set up. To be fair, this could be a rare problem that only a few people will experience.
