  • Hello,

    I have purchased the premium version of your plugin and I cant seem to be able to search for files in directories that are not part of the media library.

    https://snipboard.io/DR5Ljd.jpg this is a screenshot of my uploads folder

    Is there a way to enable search within all the directories and subdirectories of the uploads folder?
    https://fulltextsearch.org/documentation/
    Could we use this function wpfts_index_post to include all possible directories and files under the /upload folder and not just the media library folders and files?

    Thank you very much in advance,
    Vasiliki


  • Hi, Vasiliki

    Thank you for the question!

    Yes, initially WPFTS Pro was only able to search within files that are included in WP Media Library. We are developing an addon currently which will enable search by any file or file directory.

    ETA of the test version is 25 Apr 2020.

    Hi @stark Unfortunately, WPFTS does not work with PODS custom fields "from the box", so custom code exists somewhere. I think your developer used another way to add data to the search index. We need to ask him or alternatively, I could check your code myself, it should not be too long. In this case please send me admin access to your resource using a private message. Thanks.

    Hi, @Amine The WPFTS Pro version you are using is very outdated. Please consider upgrading to 2.46.x which is the latest. It has a completely new indexing and searching algorithm and it should solve your issue.

    Hi @Nick Yes, the algorithm thinks the number of words here is more important than the exact phrase... Ideally, if we could justify the relative weight for the phrase matches. Currently, it's too low for your case, but I think if we can double it, this could solve the issue. I think to put this parameter to settings in the near future. Thanks!
