    We have WPFTS Pro installed on our site, and I continue to be impressed by how fast and comprehensive it is for searches.

    I've been working on configuring the plugin, and I'd like to be able to have WPFTS display the total number of results returned for a given search. (in addition/as opposed to the score).

    Thanks in advance for any recommendations/suggestions you can offer.

    Do you mean a number of the relevant words for each search result item or a total of posts found?

    If you need only the number of found posts, you can use WP_Query's property found_posts.

    $wp_query->found_posts;

    I didn't test this, but it should work.

    Hi @Simply_Friend Thank you for the question. Actually it's not planned to be added to the plugin core, because this feature (search by date FROM - TO) is already implemented in WP Native search (in WP_Query()). So you can search with date using WP_Query parameter date_query. Here is the topic: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#date-parameters Another question is if you want date picker fields to be added next to the text query field in the search widget. This is fairly easy to do for the average WP developer. There are probably some visual constructors to do this, but I can’t recommend anything here - if you find a solution, please write. It will be useful for other users. We don't plan to add a search form builder to the core functionality of WPFTS because we don't want to compete with Elementor / Beaver Builder / Visual Builder etc etc, although we will probably do a detailed tutorial on how to use the builders to make a search widget with additional fields. Hope this helped you. Thanks!

    Hi, @wonderbuild Should be you are using the "WPFTS :: Live Search" widget. This widget is intended to show this live search data. If you don't want them, simply use the native WP Search widget. Hope it helps.

    Correct, you can justify the styling of the Smart Excerpt part using CSS block in the WPFTS Pro Settings / Search & Output. Your webmaster can use it. Other parts of the search results page are not accessible for the plugin.

    It should work with Korean because it works with UTF-8 encoding.
