Sometimes it can happen the search results include posts from a post type that has been excluded from the index. When that happens, here are things you can check. Are you using Relevanssi? It’s possible your search results are not coming from Relevanssi. The quickest way to check is to use the Relevanssi admin search…
A Relevanssi Premium customer had a problem with product codes. The codes are in the format “ABC 100”, a group of letters and digits with a space in between. Users may search for the codes without the space, so the post should be found with “ABC 100” or “ABC100”. The product codes don’t appear in…
