Gmedia photo gallery gives a false impression of working with Relevanssi, as you can see the gmedia_tag taxonomy appear in the list of taxonomies: However, if you try to index those tags, you’ll soon notice Relevanssi isn’t actually indexing them. That’s because Gmedia gallery doesn’t use that taxonomy for the tags. The tags are actually…
If your posts have lots of programming code examples in <pre> and <code> tags, those might look pretty bad in the search results. A snippet of programming code isn’t usually a good excerpt, and if you use those tags purely for code snippets, they won’t likely contain significant search content, either. Fortunately it’s easy to…
It’s been a while from the previous Relevanssi release, and there’s plenty of fixes to all sorts of issues in this version. Nothing major, though, couple of unpleasant interface issues are fixed and there are several improvements in how highlighting works in excerpts.

Versions 2.1.6 and 4.0.10 are privacy updates, adding GDPR and privacy-related features to support the new privacy tools in WordPress 4.9.6. The versions also include bug fixes around places and refactoring to make the code easier to understand if you ever need to look under the hood. Here’s the complete list of changes: Privacy: If…
…It’s not currently possible to disable the logging of user IDs. These are personal information, and need to be reported on your privacy policy, if you have search logging enabled. Relevanssi includes tools to remove data from the logs. If you use the WordPress privacy tools to remove user’s data……completely from the system, that will automatically remove all log entries with their user ID. Relevanssi can’t automatically remove log entries for searches users do when they are not logged in, as Relevanssi cannot connect IP address to user ID. Attachment indexing Relevanssi doesn’t share any information outside your server,…We have a privacy policy that covers your use of this web site and our customer data use. However, if you’re interested in how using Relevanssi affects the GDPR compliance of your own site, here we have answers for you. In general, Relevanssi doesn’t store any information about users and…
Relevanssi doesn’t work with the WP Job Manager search. The solution is fortunately simple: you can just disable Relevanssi for the WP Job Manager page. To disable Relevanssi, add this to your site: Thanks to Adam Lenz for this solution.
Relevanssi Premium 2.1.5 fixes some bugs in tag and category indexing. If you index tags and categories for posts (not the terms themselves), do rebuild the index after updating. There’s a new filter hook to give you a possibility to filter posts before indexing. That’s very helpful, if you want to exclude a lot of…

There have been some problems in tag and category indexing, so if you are indexing tags and categories, please rebuild the index after updating. These features will come to Premium in 2.1.5, which will be released soon. Fixes…
BeTheme does the strangest, weirdest, and least productive things with search I’ve ever seen in a professional theme. It can automatically clear out your search term, which of course leads to Relevanssi searches failing. I have no idea what that is trying to achieve, but it makes searching very frustrating. Fortunately, the fix is simple.…
Version 2.1.4 fixes couple of small bugs – a small regression, a problem sanitizing user inputs, issues with highlighting – and adds one new feature. There’s now a “Pin this post for all keywords” checkbox in the Relevanssi post controls box. That checkbox does pretty much what it says: it pins the post for all keywords…
