Relevanssi can index attachment contents from files linked to posts with ACF File fields. This does not happen automatically but requires some extra code. The code required depends on which return value you use for your ACF File fields. If you use “File ID”, the code looks like this: For “File Array”, the code looks…
Relevanssi can automatically index PDF content for the parent post if the PDF (or other attachment) is attached to the parent post in WordPress. However, that’s not always the case. Sometimes the PDF is attached to the page using an embed, which doesn’t create a connection between the posts in WordPress. Thus, Relevanssi won’t know…
If your posts have lots of programming code examples in <pre> and <code> tags, those might look pretty bad in the search results.

Here’s a new version. I was alerted to some issues in indexing, probably caused by recent changes in the indexing process. I found some problems, indeed, as each post was being indexed three times, thanks to some unnecessary action calls. I’ve now streamlined the indexing process and removed as many unnecessary indexing calls as possible.…
