Updating WooCommerce to version 4.4 breaks Relevanssi searches. After updating WooCommerce to version 4.4, Relevanssi searches no longer find results.

This problem is caused by changes in WooCommerce. Those who are interested in the details can go read the GitHub issue I created. For those interested in solving the problem, the next version of Relevanssi will include a fix and meanwhile, you can fix the problem by adding this to your site:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop', 'relevanssi_wc_reset_loop' );
function relevanssi_wc_reset_loop() {
	global $wp_query;
	if ( $wp_query->is_search ) {
		wc_reset_loop();
	}
}

This little function fixes the problem in most cases (please let me know if you have a case where this does not solve the problem!).

Update 21.8.2020: This page originally offered a one-liner solution. The smaller solution works but may have side effects. The new version targets only search queries.

Update 26.8.2020: This fix is no longer necessary with Relevanssi Premium 2.10.1 and Relevanssi free 4.8.1.

Debugging slow searches

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……should be close to the number of posts found. If there’s a big difference, that’s often a performance problem. If your site does 3000 queries every time you search, that’s going to take time even if those queries are fast. (See Performance issues here for avoiding common pitfalls.) Meta query…
