Activity Search Results not Displaying comments with matching terms.

But the search IS finding them, they just don't appear until after the heartbeat notification for 'load newest'.

If a search result only appears in comments then no results are returned at all. When no matching activity updates are found, the heartbeat/refresh is stopped, so there is no option to load the comment search results.

Using Buddypress 2.0.1, latest wordpress, hashbuddy plugin.

hi marketraisen

Thanks for your feedback. I think it's not a BuddyPress bug but a HashBuddy one. In short: This plugin is trying to get a $_GET['hash'] var that doesn't exist in the url, it should use the $_GET['s'] one.

see my suggestion to fix the trouble here:
​https://gist.github.com/imath/5812cf545d54c6364078

In details:

The plugin was trying to force the activity stream to use the display_comments => true mode when a "hash buddy" search was performed. This way comments have their 'own' activities and are not only attached to their parents and are part of the search performed by BuddyPress. The problem was: as the $_GET['hash'] doesn't exist, then the query_string is not filtered, then the mode display_comments => true is not set, then comments remain attached to their parents only, then no results because not in the scope for search.

So i'd suggest you report the problem to the plugin's author, i'm closing this ticket as invalid, but if modemlooper needs some adjustment in this area, feel free to reopen.
