Free 2.8

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 there’s an option to make them work.
Title highlight option now affects external search term highlights as well.
There were some bugs on the options page.

Nothing major, except the cache feature is pretty useful, if the cache has been in heavy use. The highlight fixes will appear in Relevanssi Premium 1.4, which is coming out fairly soon (it’s mostly done, I’m just considering if I should add a couple of features to it or not).

Get the version 2.8 from plugin repository.

Search is ignoring accents

In general, searches ignore accents, which is generally a good idea: for example in French, the difference between e and é isn’t huge, and it’s fine if the search engine isn’t too picky about which is which. However, there are cases where there is a big difference: for example in……specific collations for individual columns, and we’re mostly interested in the specific collations for the term and term_reverse columns. If you change the collation to something that does not ignore accents, you also need to make Relevanssi keep the accents. Add this to your site: remove_filter( ‘relevanssi_remove_punctuation’, ‘remove_accents’, 9 );……these mixups (and also for the useful behaviour of ignoring accents). The reason is the MySQL database collation, which controls how the data is sorted and compared. The default collation for Relevanssi tables is utf8mb4_unicode_ci, which is a good, general-purpose collation. However, in some specific cases, it may be too…
