Searchable Transcripts

Hello,
I have a multitrack transcript in each episode and would like to be able to search them. Ideally with the wordpress search. Sometimes you might not have everything mentioned in the show notes.
However, I haven’t found a way to connect the search with the transcripts.
Am I missing something?

Hi,

I’m also looking for a way how to search in transcripts with WordPress general search.

As far as I can see the hook up into WP search covers the following episode attributes:

  • Subtitle
  • Summary
  • Chapters

https://github.com/podlove/podlove-publisher/blob/master/includes/search.php

I was wondering if it’s possible to extend this by adding something like:

OR
({$episodesTable}.transcriptGrouped LIKE '{$n}{$term}{$n}')
