…So, if having a big Relevanssi table slows down the site, the effect should definitely be visible on this site. I ran three tests using a speed test tool provided by my hosting provider Seravo (one of the best WP hosting companies in the world, by the way). It’s basically……accessed at all except during searching, so it shouldn’t matter how big the table is. Fortunately site speed is something that can be measured, so we can make some actual experiments here. The experiment I used Kirjavinkit as the testing ground, because it’s one of the biggest sites I run….
…is good for as long as we stay in business. The annual license expires after a year has passed. The annual license is not a subscription. We will not charge your account after a year. The plugin still works. The attachment reading stops working, and you can’t access new updates……– you’re paying for the support, please use it!). While we do not offer free trials, we do respect and trust our customers to offer very flexible refunds. How Relevanssi licenses work Relevanssi Premium licenses come in two different forms: annual and permanent. The difference is straightforward. The permanent license…
Sometimes you want to get a specific post as the first result for a certain search, but Relevanssi doesn’t return the right post as the first result by itself for some reason. Relevanssi Premium has a tool for these situations: pinning. Pinning allows you to specify keywords for each post, and whenever that keyword is…
Query Monitor is by far the best thing for a WordPress developer. It’s billed as the “Developer Tools panel for WordPress”, and that’s a good way to put it. If you’ve ever used the browser developer tools, you know what to expect. Query Monitor is a good way to figure out problems in Relevanssi searches,…
…hasn’t come up in tests before this. Relevanssi also now requires PHP 7. It should not be possible to update Relevanssi on sites that are still running PHP 5. If your site is running PHP 5, it’s badly irresponsible and you really, really should update the PHP version to something…After the Summer break, Relevanssi is back with new versions, both to Premium and free. These are mostly small improvements, but when testing the new version, I discovered a bug in the comment indexing that has made Relevanssi not index comments when they are added. I’m not sure why this……operators ? (any one letter) and * (zero or more letters) can be used inside words, if enabled by setting the relevanssi_wildcard_search filter to true. See information here. New filter hook relevanssi_term_where lets you filter the term WHERE conditional for the search query. Doing the document count updates asynchronously caused…
Is is possible to set Relevanssi in a way that it would return only perfect matches for queries up to 3 characters, but any words that starts with the queried term if it has 4 characters or more? – Originally asked here Yes, but it requires a bit of code. Add this to your site and…
Relevanssi Premium 2.10.2 introduces a new way to search: wildcard matching. Once the wildcard matching is enabled (it is disabled by default), it introduces two new operators: * and ?. Using the wildcard operators The * operator replaces zero or more characters, so searching for w*ess would match “wilderness”, “witness”, “WordPress” and also “wess”. The…
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…
Relevanssi is language-agnostic in itself. It does not know any language and doesn’t care about which language the site uses. However, there are a few things that you need to consider when using Relevanssi in languages other than English. Characters: use UTF8 As long as your site uses UTF8 characters, Relevanssi can handle just about…
I need to add some custom shortcodes to the list of the “removed” ones (so they don’t show in plain text in the results). However, some of them are built like [shortcode_name text=”Need to keep this in results”] and I would like the content in the text parameter to stay in the results. How…
