4. Hi,
   Sorry for not posting earlier.
   Please put this code in your bp-custom.php and It will do exactly as you want. allow you to add a drop down to select box and then search activity

   //add activity drop down
   add_filter( 'bp_search_form_type_select', "bp_include_activity_dd" );
   
   /* activity drop down*/
   function bp_include_activity_dd($search_box) {
   	$selection_box = '';
           if(bp_is_active("activity")){
               	$selection_box .= '<option value="activity">' . __( 'Activity', 'buddypress' ) . '</option></select>';
   
           $search_box=str_replace("</select>", $selection_box, $search_box);
           }
   
   return $search_box;
   }
   
   //for searching on activity page
   add_filter("bp_core_search_site","bp_search_for_activity",10,2);
   
   function bp_search_for_activity($url,$search_terms){
   $search_which = $_POST['search-which'];
   if($search_which=="activity")
    $url =  site_url( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG .'/?s=' . urlencode($search_terms) );
   
   return $url;
   
   }
   
   //since bp do not provide a hook to set custom search string, manipulate using ajax_querystring
   
   add_filter("bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring","bp_add_activity_search_to_query");
   
   function bp_add_activity_search_to_query($qs){
   if(empty($qs)&&!empty($_REQUEST['s']))
       $qs="search_terms=".$_REQUEST['s'];
   
   return $qs;
   
   }

   It will work if you are using default theme or have the "bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring" filter in your custom theme , otherwise It may not work.

   Please let me know how it goes with you.

   Wouldn't it be cool to have a similar function in global search?
   (hint...)

6. Hi,

   Yes, it works. The problem is I have already customize the drop down menu with the code below, and it seems to make conflict. If I remove the code below, it works, if not, it doesn't work.

   //filter the allowed search type
   add_filter("bp_search_form_type_select","bpdev_allowed_search_type");
   function bpdev_allowed_search_type($selecttion_box_old){
   //ignore the selection box
   $selection_box = '<select name="search-which" id="search-which" style="width: auto">';

   if ( function_exists( 'xprofile_install' ) ) {
   $selection_box .= '<option value="members">' . __( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) . '</option>';
   }

   if ( function_exists( 'groups_install' ) ) {
   $selection_box .= '<option value="groups">' . __( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) . '</option>';
   }

   if ( function_exists( 'bp_forums_setup' ) && !(int) get_site_option( 'bp-disable-forum-directory' ) ) {
   $selection_box .= '<option value="forums">' . __( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) . '</option>';
   }
   //here we modify the thing to a new type posts
   $selection_box .= '<option value="posts">' . __( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) . '</option>';

   $selection_box .= '</select>';
   return $selection_box;
   }
   //let us filter the search action urls
   add_filter("bp_core_search_site","bpdev_filter_search_url");
   function bpdev_filter_search_url($search_url){
   //if user is searching for main site content, modify url else return url
   $search_terms = $_POST['search-terms'];
   $search_which = $_POST['search-which'];
   if($search_which=="posts")
   $search_url=site_url( "?s=". urlencode($search_terms) );
   return $search_url;

   Almost, I need search box on activity page, as member and group page. Do you know how to add this ?
