By default, Relevanssi does not index HTML comments inside your posts. Relevanssi removes all HTML tags before indexing, and HTML comments (<!– like this –>) are counted as HTML tags. If you have content inside comments that you want indexed, you need to modify the punctuation control – which is responsible for removing the comments…
Relevanssi works fine with Toolset, thanks to a lot of compatibility code the makers of Toolset have included in it to make it work with Relevanssi. However, everything doesn’t work automatically without modifications. The key thing to notice with Toolset is that query variables and filters don’t work the way you’d expect. Because of the…
Sometimes unexpected things happen when releasing updates for Relevanssi Premium. Version 2.2.3 passed all our tests with flying colours and during our local testing showed no signs of trouble. However, once it was released, bug reports started trickling in – incompatibility with the Redirection plugin (which we’ve never used), problems with Internet Explorer (which we…
2.2.3 adds a new Premium feature: redirects. This feature allows you to define keywords that will be automatically redirect the user to a certain page. While this feature is only available for Premium users, this update is still very much worth the while for the users of free Relevanssi. For starters, there’s a fix for…
The latest update unfortunately broke the User searches page. This update fixes that problem. I’ve also updated my test suite to catch further errors like those, so similar issues should not happen again. The Premium update also includes a minor improvement, where the “How Relevanssi sees this post” feature is now hidden by default and…
Version 2.2.2 of Premium and the matching 4.1.1 version of free include some minor fixes to search parameters. The biggest fixes are related to meta key sorting of results, some annoying error messages that crop up if you try to sort by an ACF field for example should be gone now. There were also some…
By default Relevanssi does not index the post slug. It is, however, an easy thing to fix using the relevanssi_content_to_index filter hook. This function will read the post slug, replace the hyphens with spaces (so that indexing-post-slugs becomes “indexing post slugs”) and add the slug to the post content. Just add this function to your…
The Flatsome theme, when combined with WooCommerce, has a product search results page that can also show posts and pages. That doesn’t work with Relevanssi out of the box, but fortunately can be made to work. The function that adds the functionality is hooked in place, so it’s easy to unhook the default function and…
There was an interesting support question: I have website with logged-in users as well as non-logged-in users. The logged-in user should be able to search through everything on the website, but the non-logged-in users should only be able to search the user profiles. Is it at all possible to differentiate the searches like this? The…
Version 4.1 adds couple of new features: you can do searches in the admin using the full power of Relevanssi, and you can export the Relevanssi search logs as a CSV file. The admin search is very much a work-in-progress; any feedback is welcome. Changelog New feature: You can now export the search log as…
