Knowledge base contains information on how to use Relevanssi. There are lots of features that are documented in the knowledge base. Here's an index to the knowledge base, with all the entries sorted under different topics.
The user manual functions page is also a good place to look at.
My Relevanssi engine has the AND operator enabled, with a fallback to OR when the search finds no matches. I’d like the search to display first the AND results and later the OR results. For example, if I search for “wedding party”, I’d like the search to show first the entries matching both words and…
Adding a custom field filter in a Relevanssi search takes a little bit of programming, because the filter needs to create a meta_query that Relevanssi understands. Let’s assume we have some colour information in a custom field that’s called colour_field, and we want to use that to filter the search results. First, let’s add a…
Many WooCommerce users use search sorting that allows users to sort by popularity or price. Unfortunately, while Relevanssi works fine with WooCommerce, those sorts do not work. Relevanssi doesn’t know about price or popularity, and the sorting assumes there’s a default WP search underneath. Relevanssi doesn’t do meta field sorting as easily as the default…
If you need to disable Relevanssi, for example for a particular template, all you need to do is to unhook two filters: Before versions 4.10.2 (free) and 2.12.2 (Premium), you need to unhook these filters:

Relevanssi can index extra fields created with Profile Builder Pro. All you need to do is add the custom fields’ names to the Relevanssi setting “User fields to index” (this is a Premium feature, so you need to have Relevanssi Premium). You can find the names of the fields from the Profile Builder > Manage…
In some cases, Relevanssi requires modifications to the search result template for the search results to work properly (in particular when using Relevanssi Premium to search user profiles and taxonomy terms). Adjusting the templates is really simple, usually just changing the_permalink() to echo relevanssi_get_permalink() is enough, but framework themes like Genesis make small changes like these more complicated.

Avada is one of the most popular WordPress themes on the market. All post types are not found Avada has search settings, including a list of post types to show in the results. If your Avada search is not showing all post types, attachments or user profiles, the problem is probably in the Avada settings.…
I have a term who name is for, example, Great Blue Trojans. The slug is GBT. I want to be able to search for ‘GBT’ and return all the posts with this term. When I search ‘Great Blue Trojans’ I get the hits. When I search GBT I do not. Is this as expected? Is…
If you want to auto-direct the user directly to the result if there’s just one result for the search, that’s quite easy. Add the following code to your site: This is not Relevanssi-specific and works just fine even without Relevanssi. If you are using Relevanssi on a multisite system, you need a small change to…
