Exact Match Phrase Search & BOOLEAN Operators (AND, OR, " ", ETC)

Bugs and Fixes

  • Hello! We have developed a digital archive for a client (https://digitallibrary.hsccmd.org/) that is leveraging your paid plugin for the search functionality. I searched this forum for a similar topic, and all I could find was from 2020 so I apologize if this has already been answered. We are receiving some negative feedback from users as the plugin does not accurately search phrases. For example if the user searches "Union Bridge" with quotes or Union AND Bridge or Union+Bridge the results found are not for the exact phrase in that order, but for any item that contains the word Union or the word bridge.

    Does the plugin support more specific search parameters or is there any way to configure it to do so? Thank you!

    Hi @Felipe-Farinho Você pode me dizer qual tema seu site está usando atualmente? Pode haver uma incompatibilidade de tema/WPFTS (e isso é fácil de corrigir). Além disso, para indexar arquivos do WPDM você precisa instalar um complemento simples https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpfts-add-on-for-wp-download-manager/ (não se preocupe se não for atualizado há algum tempo - iremos atualizá-lo em breve). Isso permitirá que o WPFTS veja os arquivos adicionados ao WPDM. Peço também que você compartilhe um link para o seu site - isso agilizará a busca por uma solução. Obrigado!

    This bug (definitely a bug!) was fixed in version 1.68.232 We made "ident" field in the new wpftsi_irules table shorter (limited from 255 to 130) to avoid VARCHAR index length overflow. Thanks, @lostconcerts !

    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!
