    Hello,
    We are having an issue with the plugin I have been unable to resolve. As we enter data into the search box, it comes up with an error message BEFORE we hit the "find" button. Once we click "find", it locates the item. This error is causing major confusion with the users because they think what they are searching for cannot be found. Our site operates by searching PDF documents in the media section exclusively so I am not sure if that is the issue.

    I would like to either remove or rename the error message so that users will not be confused. Attached is a screenshot of what I am referring to. Can you help?

    Hi @teri-sahm

    It looks like this message is generated by some other plugin or maybe "auto-suggestion" feature of the theme. Could you try to check if there is an option in the theme settings or some AJAX Search plugin? Could you try to disable it?

    Thank you for this report!

    @EpsilonAdmin Thanks for quick response and question.
    Yes, my hope was to use the standard WP search widget - but I haven't explored any other option. If there's a better way I'm happy to get guidance 😀

    My site has been recently re-created in WordPress after quite a few years of running under Joomla and that Joomla installation had a free plugin called jiFiles (?) which did the document scanning/indexing. A standard search, scoped on file name or a string from within file content, would pull up a list of file names each hyperlinked to the file itself to easily click on for in-browser viewing (or possibly downloading).

    I appreciate that there are other WordPress plugins that offer a full document management system but they have a much larger feature set than I need and are also majorly expensive for a small non-profit community web site.

    Hi @pfb6736

    Yes, you can do this via CSS, either by adding a new rule to your Theme custom CSS block, or you can use WPFTS Settings / Search & Output / Display / Smart Excerpts CSS editor block.
    I hope it's .widget.widget-search rule, you can set 'width: 100%' to extend widget's width to all available room.

    The plugin is growing, but we have not yet a powerful system to make customized search widgets. What I can propose to you is (depending on your PHP/WP knowledge): there is a file /includes/widgets/wpfts_widget.class.php which is actually a native WP search widget with some changes for Live Search functionality.
    I would recommend you to copy this file to your child theme and create your own widget (by adding a select input to existing code). In case you think your knowledge of PHP is not that good, I can gladly help you, but you need to explain to me what exactly you need.

    Yes, it's possible via the small code addition. Do you want to show a path to the file instead of the file title? Or it should be an additional line in the search result item? Do you think showing a local path to the file is OKAY and maybe it's better to show Category instead?

    As I can see they are highlighted (bolded) but you can change this again in the Smart Excerpts CSS block. For example, this rule will make found words RED and YELLOW highlighted.

    .wpfts-result-item .wpfts-smart-excerpt b { /* Excerpt text */ color: red; background-color: #ff3; }

    Thanks.

    There is a simpler way for fix the Avada Theme search results issue in case you're using Avada Theme 7.0+.

    In this version the authors enabled to override the output of search results by the hook. So using the simple addon become possible.

    Just download it and install. And enjoy the Smart Excerpts 🙂
