Search Logic not Working


  • 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, @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    The WPFTS Pro version you are using is very outdated.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 Charles @clapierre

    We just released v1.35.96 which should have the AND/OR issue fixed. Could you check it?

    Thanks! ✋
