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.
Martfury is a WooCommerce theme that comes with a built-in dropdown search. That’s great, except that as usual the dropdown search doesn’t work with Relevanssi. Fortunately the search is hooked into place, so it’s possible to hook it out and replace it with something new. That might not be necessary, though. The theme developer has…
Hi, is there a way to add a link to another website when searching for certain keywords? We have a few affiliates and we want to include a direct link to their websites in the search results when certain terms are searched for. How would I go about this? A straight-forward approach for this is…
You may notice that enabling Relevanssi custom excerpts breaks all autoembeds (things like Youtube video embeds) on search results pages. That’s done on purpose, because the autodiscovery of those embeds can be a proper performance killer if the search results include lots of embedded content. Thus, Relevanssi switches the feature off, considering it’s not commonly…
Elementor is a popular page builder. It works rather well with Relevanssi. Using Relevanssi with Elementor Live Results Elementor has a feature for custom Query Filters. These can be used to connect Relevanssi with the Elementor Live Results and the Elementor Search Widget. First, you need to add this function to your site: Then, follow…
Relevanssi generally works well with Ultimate Member and can be used to search Ultimate Member profiles. Ultimate Member doesn’t do custom profiles but instead builds upon WordPress user profiles. If you want to change the default /author/ URLs for user profiles in search results to point to the /user/ URLs Ultimate Member uses, that’s easy…
Jules Colle came up with a method of moving the Relevanssi admin search page from under the Dashboard heading to the top level of the admin menu. This function adds an admin_menu action that first uses remove_submenu_page() to remove the existing admin search function and then add_menu_page() to add it again on the top menu…
Relevanssi by default does not consider the search query a phrase, or value posts where the words in the search query appear together. Sometimes people do expect that, especially in AND searches. Relevanssi however does not have the information about the nearby words, so it’s not possible for Relevanssi to factor that in. Relevanssi does…
WP Download Manager is a popular file management plugin for WordPress. It’s unfortunately incompatible with Relevanssi attachment content reading out of the box, as Relevanssi expects the attachments to be stored in the Media Library, and WP Download Manager stores the files outside Media Library. Fortunately, Relevanssi includes the necessary filter hooks that make it…
If you want to restrict a search to a page and all it’s children, you can add a post_parent parameter to the search, and that’s it – but that only includes the direct children of the page. What if you want to include page, it’s children, all the grandchildren and their children? In that case,…
Relevanssi Premium 2.11 introduces a new feature: multi-part excerpts. There’s a new setting on the Excerpts & Highlights settings tab, “Number of excerpt snippets”, and that lets you define the maximum number of excerpt snippets Relevanssi generates for each post. How does it work This option is only available when the excerpt length is defined…
