Grouping Search Results?

How Do I?

surprisingly difficult to find an answer on this via search engines (irony!). hopefully a simple question:

i have a search function in the header of my website. a user enters a search phrase and clicks submit

Right now results are ordered by entry date, as is the default i believe. I’d like those results to be organized by channel or category group. Is this possible?

I don’t want a user to have to select parameters before searching.

Would I need an add-on for this functionality?

It would take an add-on and I’m not aware of one that does it. Low Search is pretty much the ‘go to’ when you need extended capabilities, but I don’t think it’s going to give you the presentation you want. It would be worth dropping Low an email to double check, though.

I think in most cases, the assumption is they’ll filter on category or channel as part of the search.

😊 Not sure how helpful that one was! Hopefully someone will surprise me with an option that does exactly what you want.
