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 @blixhavn

    Do you remember which plugins you've installed recently? Some of them may conflict with WPFTS Pro, especially when making a search at the front end. Please try to disable those plugins temporarily.

    If it does not help, let's connect with TeamViewer so I can solve this issue faster (write me a private message or via Live Chat at the main page).

    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    The WPFTS Pro version you are using is very outdated.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!
