More information

There are many steps in the Relevanssi searching process. During the searching, Relevanssi generates a MySQL query to fetch the results from the Relevanssi database table.

You can use this filter hook to modify the search query. However, that’s generally not useful. There’s probably a better way to achieve things you could achieve with this filter hook. This filter hook is best for debugging the search query:

add_filter( 'relevanssi_query_filter', 'rlv_debug_query' );
function rlv_debug_query( $query ) {
  error_log( $query ); // Log to PHP error log.
  var_dump( $query ); // Print out query on the screen.
  return $query;
}

If you use this filter hook for modifications, make sure you make the same modifications to the DF query with the relevanssi_df_query_filter hook.

To modify different parts of the query, you can use other filter hooks:

• relevanssi_fuzzy_query filters the term in partial matching.
• relevanssi_join filters the JOIN part of the query.
• relevanssi_term_where filters the term part.
• relevanssi_where filters the query restrictions.

Relevanssi adds a filter function relevanssi_limit_filter on this filter hook to limit the number of results fetched from the database, based on the throttle settings.
