Wishlist Member: Sorting the posts by membership levels

Someone wanted a way to prioritize posts that are targeting particular Wishlist Member membership level. The basic implementation here is simple: create a relevanssi_hits_filter function that will sort the posts by the level. There’s a trick to this, though, as Wishlist Member does not provide a way to check the level of one post. There’s…

Premium 2.6 / Free 4.5

The new versions include a couple of new filter hooks that are not of big interest to most users but may be helpful for specific needs. The biggest change in this version is how the stopwords page works: now it is possible to remove all stopwords without having the stopword list automatically repopulate from the…

Partial matches to just one custom field

Is it possible to set (with filters and/or actions/functions) Relevanssi to use whole words keyword matching for post titles and 2 custom fields, and partial keyword matching only for a specific custom field (sku in this case)? Indeed it is! That is, you can’t set different keyword matching methods to different parts of the post,…

Excluding old content from the search

Is there a way to exclude anything before 2016 from search results? Yes. There are two approaches to this. If you never want to see anything old in the results, it’s best to filter in indexing with relevanssi_indexing_restriction. Add this to your site: Note that the restriction explains which posts are included in the index,…

Premium 2.5 / Free 4.4

Relevanssi Premium 2.5.0 and Relevanssi 4.4.0 add new features and fix bugs in Relevanssi. Premium gets more updates this time, but the free version gets couple of helpful bug fixes, so this version is definitely worth the update. Versions 2.5.1 and 4.4.1 are a quick fix for a problem with missing stopwords in the new…

Restrict search by author from the search query

You can set Relevanssi to index the post author, which will then let you find posts by searching for the name of the author. But what if you want a stricter filter? Where searching for an author would only show posts by that one author and nothing else? That’s possible too. Add this function to…

Premium 2.4.4 / Free 4.3.4

Premium 2.4.4 and free 4.3.4 fix couple of long-standing bugs. The process of taking Relevanssi to 100% testing coverage proceeds and going over all the code systematically helped me find and fix a bug that had plagued comment indexing for a long time. New features Premium only: You can now target specific parts of the…

Target specific part of the post

Relevanssi Premium 2.4.4 introduced a new feature where you can target specific parts of the post straight from the search terms. The format for this is {target:search_term} Target can be one of the following: title: Post title. content: Post content. author: Author display name. comment: Comment text. link: Link from another post. excerpt: Post excerpt.…

Indexing trashed posts

By default, Relevanssi does not index trashed posts. If you want to enable searching for trashed posts in the WordPress admin, it’s simple: all you need to do is to give Relevanssi permission to a) include posts with the trash status in the index and b) allow the trash status posts to show up in…

Premium 2.4.3

Relevanssi Premium 2.4.3 is a bug fix release that fixes two rather nasty bugs in 2.4.2. Bug fixes Disabling update_post_metadata_cache seemed like a good optimization move for related posts, but it turns out it also disables related posts thumbnails. We’ll take weaker performance with working images, so that optimization move has now been revoked. Importing…
