If you want to add an option to search only in titles to your search form, here’s how. First, you need to modify the search form to add the selection. To add a simple dropdown, add this to your search form: This select element will create a small dropdown with the option to search everything…
By default, Relevanssi tends to prefer longer posts. The default TF × IDF weights Relevanssi uses simply count the term frequency, ie. how many times a word appears in the post. That prefers longer posts as they usually have the search term appear more often. However, a 500-word post with 15 search term appearances might…
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,…
I use private custom fields. I want to index them in the administration but not on the public site. How to do ? Initially this seems impossible to do with Relevanssi, but it’s possible. Doing this requires Relevanssi Premium. The free version doesn’t know which custom field matches the search term, it just knows some custom…
Relevanssi 3.5.5 is out now and available from the plugin repository. 500 errors caused by arrays in custom fields should be gone now. Improvements to the ACF “select” field support. Relevanssi will not break when frontend plugins insert posts. relevanssi_match filter has a new parameter, which contains the search term. Polylang support has been improved.…
Relevanssi Premium 1.14.5 is a recommended release, as it fixes significant bugs that caused failures when custom fields contained arrays and when front-end plugins created posts. Multisite users are happy to find out meta_query support has been added to multisite searches and the post type filters work better. Relevanssi had problems with plus signs in…
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…
The free version of Relevanssi got a long-delayed update, and it turned out to be a significant update, probably the biggest ever in the history of Relevanssi. Just look at the changelog. Most of these are, of course, familiar to the Premium users. WORD OF WARNING: This is a major update, with lots of changes…
I got a bug notice, which I decided to fix right away. I also added couple of small features while I was at it. Fixed a bug related that caused AND queries containing short search terms to fall back to OR searches. The relevanssi_match filter now gets the IDF as an additional parameter to make…
This version fixes some small bugs and adds cool new features. This version is not a mandatory update, but recommended thanks to the bug fixes. I’d recommend some caution with the new features on important sites. Relevanssi now stores more data about custom fields and custom taxonomies, allowing more fine-tuned control of results. It is…
