Relevanssi Premium has tools for pinning posts for specific queries and all searches where the post appears, but what if you want to pin a post for all searches? That’s also possible but requires a bit of code. Pin the post for all searches and add this function to your site: Replace 1234 with the…
We have posts with titles like “A perfect match”. If a user searches for this exact title, only this post should show up in the results. Otherwise, the search should run as default. There are several approaches to this, but the best is relevanssi_hits_filter. This function goes through all the posts, checks if the post…
FileBird is one of many WordPress plugins that provide more control over the attachments in the Media Library. You can use the FileBird folders in Relevanssi searches to filter attachments based on their folder. Here’s a simple function you can add to your site: Once you add this, you can use the folder parameter to…
Here’s a different approach to WPML searching. By default, you have two options. You can include posts in all languages in the results, or you can only use the current language.

If you want to restrict a search to a page and all it’s children, you can add a post_parent parameter to the search, and that’s it – but that only includes the direct children of the page. What if you want to include page, it’s children, all the grandchildren and their children? In that case,…
This little filter function works on relevanssi_hits_filter.

For this to work, Relevanssi must be set to index the _sku custom field (because otherwise,…
Someone wanted a way to prioritize posts that are targeting particular Wishlist Member membership level. The basic implementation here is simple: create a relevanssi_hits_filter function that will sort the posts by the level. There’s a trick to this, though, as Wishlist Member does not provide a way to check the level of one post. There’s…
Some event calendar plugins do recurring events by creating many posts. That’s fine until those cloned posts fill up your search results. This function will only show one of each post with the same title and will take the one with the first date. The date is checked from _EventStartDate custom field, but it’s easy…
Sometimes it’s nice to have a category filter on the search results pages: a simple dropdown where you can choose the category you want to show. It’s easy to create one using wp_dropdown_categories() but on a search results page, that’s slightly problematic, as it’ll include all categories, not just those included in the search results.…
If you want to have sticky posts first in results when they match the search query, just add this code to your theme functions.php:
