Here are the changes in 2.8.2 of Relevanssi Free. These are minor changes, but they can be quite important. WordPress didn’t support searching for multiple categories with the cat query variable. There’s now new cats which can take multiple categories. Similar to cats vs cat, you can use post_types to restrict the search to multiple…
Small changes, but this is a pretty useful one. However, not a mandatory update and since this changes the way Relevanssi does certain things in a fairly radical way, I’d actually suggest NOT to upgrade, unless the new behaviour is something you need and are willing to test. Changed the way search results are paginated.…
A standard way to change the number of search results displayed is something like this: Unfortunately, this breaks Relevanssi. Relevanssi hasn’t played nice with posts_per_page in any case, for some reason I don’t really understand — this is legacy code from the original wpSearch plugin. However, from Premium version 1.4.4 and free 2.9.2, you can…
Another quick bug fix. Fixed the Did you mean -feature, which was broken by the database change. WordPress doesn’t support searching for multiple categories with the cat query variable. There’s now new cats, which can take multiple categories as a comma-separated list. For some reason, WordPress doesn’t take arguments like ?s=term&cat=1,2 but strips the ‘,2’.…
Quick bugfix upgrade: Multisite search had bugs. It’s working now. Stopwords are not highlighted anymore. Now this feature actually works. Nothing earth-shaking, but if you’re a multisite user, this upgrade is mandatory. Go download.
Do you want to have a breakdown of search results by post type? This could be used for example to show a list of post types like books, movies, or albums on a review site, and make them links to limit the search results to that post type. This is fairly easy to do with…
Like I said, watch out for the bugs. Here’s the first patch to fix the 1.4 bugs. This release fixes the broken limit feature and spelling correction feature and corrects the text domain for translations. Get yours from the download page.
Quite a few changes in this version, both fundamental changes in the structure of the plugin and small bug fixes and something in between. New database structure, which probably reduces the database size and makes clever stuff possible. The throttle option had no effect, throttle was always enabled. Now the option works. You can now…
Quick bug fix release. Not a mandatory update, unless you use More Types plugin or see error notices. Fixed two small mistakes that caused error notices. Custom post types, particularly those created by More Types plugin, were causing problems.
I released a new version of the free plugin yesterday. It has following features: There’s now a way to truncate the cache (sorry it took so long). Expired cache data is now automatically removed from the database every day. There’s also an option to clear the caches. Highlights didn’t work properly with non-ASCII alphabets. Now…
