Search Results - BOOLEAN Operators and Relevance

Bugs and Fixes
2 2 865 2

  • Our implementation of WPFTS is configured with the Default Search Logic set to "AND".
    I did a search of our website for "2015 Committee", both with and without the quotation marks (the results were the same), and the second and third most relevant results did indeed contain the phrase "2015 Committee"; the second twice and the third once
    However, the top result did not. It was a Bibliography for the year 2015, and contained "Committee" nine times, and "2015" 962 times, but in completely different parts of the document.
    This feels more like an "OR" result than an "AND" one, but maybe I misunderstand how the "AND" and "OR" operators work?


  • 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!

    This bug (definitely a bug!) was fixed in version 1.68.232 We made "ident" field in the new wpftsi_irules table shorter (limited from 255 to 130) to avoid VARCHAR index length overflow. Thanks, @lostconcerts !

    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 @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, 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.
