    I built the search form to also index PDFs and it works perfectly fine when I test it as a logged-in user. But as soon as I go to a incognito-window and re-test it, it does not find anything..
    What could be the reason?

    Hi @cantuaria

    Please tell me which version of the plugin do you use? Could you tell me if you have activated Deeper Search option and do you use an Index Optimizer (latest option on the Main Page).

    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    The WPFTS Pro version you are using is very outdated.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 @davide-merlitti

    It happens because you have problems with wp-cron tasks or DNS configuration.

    If you have your website hosted locally, often the domain name is just recorded in /etc/hosts file. This is normally okay for browser access (and this is why indexing is coming well but slow when your WP admin is open). But PHP can not read /etc/hosts by some reason and thus indexing procedure can not go internally.

    Please read this solution and try it.

    Please let me know if it helps or not.

    Thanks!

    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!
