Search Logic not Working

Bugs and Fixes

  • Hello,

    First, thanks for this plugin, after activating it our server usage dropped to 1/3 !

    But, I've detected that some searches still hangs the server. Those are searches that include common words (like "the" or "a" or "an") and multiple words. Looking at the log, I saw that it seems to search separately for each word, causing the issue. I've tried to activate the "AND" Search Logic, but it didn't made any difference, the log still seems to be searching by all words separately.

    Can I do something, maybe at code side, to prevent this?

    Edit 1: Note that, this behavior only occurs at Front End, using the site search, searching at backend doesn't cause issues. Note that, currently searches on backend aren't being logged, even though the option to replace the search in admin is active.... and I believe it's active, because the search there is really fast.

    Edit 2: Is there any further optimization for multiple post type? For example, even after the optimization the same search when limited to 1 single post type take 1.1 second, while looking for 4 different post types, take 9 seconds.

    Best


  • 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 @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 @melanie-james First of all, to see attachment contents in Smart Excerpts with Avada theme you need to implement a small patch, which removes the incompatibility of Avada theme. Please read more here https://fulltextsearch.org/forum/topic/11/solved-avada-theme-excerpt-do-not-show

    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.
