Reasonable expectations for Relevanssi searching speeds are measured in seconds. Relevanssi does not generally return results in milliseconds. On the other hand, the searches shouldn’t take more than few seconds in most cases. Multisite searches are a different thing: even if the searching is reasonably fast, searching across many sites will always be slow. Doing…
Sometimes it is helpful to have Relevanssi index the taxonomy term descriptions for posts. For example, the term description can be a good place to add alternate search terms for the term. By default, Relevanssi only indexes the term name, so you need extra code to get the term descriptions. The filter hook relevanssi_content_to_index is…
2.28.0 / 4.25.0 You can find the new versions from the automatic updates or the Downloads page.
Versions 2.27.5 (Premium) and 4.24.4 (free) added extra security to highlighting search terms in post content. Before that, an attacker with contributor access could inject malicious content in the posts and the highlighting would then trigger that. This is now fixed, but the fix comes with a cost: the post content is passed through the…
It’s possible to integrate all kinds of external data to Relevanssi weights. Post Views Counter is an analytics plugin that collects stats about your visitors and stores them in the local database, which means those stats are available for Relevanssi. For some sites, this makes a lot of sense. For example, I have Kirjavinkit, a book review site…

This version includes bug fixes, small quality-of-life improvements, and a small security fix. In earlier versions, Relevanssi included password-protected posts in the search results. This can be used to glean information about the posts’ contents. Since I know some people will still need this functionality, the old behaviour can be enabled with a filter function.…
Relevanssi doesn’t work automatically with the Query Loop block in GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks. Fortunately, the solution is simple: the Query Loop block has a filter hook for adjusting the query parameters, and you can use that filter hook to enable Relevanssi. Add this to your site: Thanks to Ben Knowles. If you are using V2…
A good question was asked in the post Natural-language date queries: Is it possible to extend this so that I can simply add a the year in the search and only results from that year would show? The answer is yes! Add these functions to your site: The code consists of two functions. The first…
Relevanssi Premium has tools for pinning posts for specific queries and all searches where the post appears, but what if you want to pin a post for all searches? That’s also possible but requires a bit of code. Pin the post for all searches and add this function to your site: Replace 1234 with the…
