Number of search results


  • Does WPFTS limit number of search results?
    I have set Settings>Read to 100 posts (in WP Admin)
    i have added to my child theme's functions.php:
    function change_wp_search_size($query) {
    if ( $query->is_search ) // Make sure it is a search page
    $query->query_vars['posts_per_page'] = 50; // Change 10 to the number of posts you would like to show
    return $query; // Return our modified query variables
    }
    add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'change_wp_search_size'); // Hook our custom function onto the request filter

    But i only get 5 results (always, for any keyword, even if there are more results)

    Kind regards, Marco


  • Hi @webwerkplaats

    No, WPFTS does not control this parameter.
    The reason why you don't see any changes may be because the code is wrong.
    Please try this code instead:

    add_action('pre_get_posts', function(&$query)
    {
        $query->set('posts_per_page', 50);
    });
    

    Notice: 'pre_get_posts' is an action , you don't need to return something from it.
    The parameter $query should be sent as reference (with &).

    Let me know if this helps.


  • I'm sorry, no, it doesn't help.
    This site is weird. I have made prototype on 1 server. Then copied it 1:1 to another server. There some links don't work. Previous page, Next page pagination and the Divi Theme builder only work when i set permalinks in Wordpress to "Simple". When i change permalinks to "Post Name" or any other, the site misbehaves. Can't figure it out. Maybe this is also the reason the site doesn't "listen" to my code or your code to expand the number of search results.
    Thanks for the help but it seems the error is not in your plugin.


  • Hi @webwerkplaats

    The Divi Builder has its own "Number of Posts" settings which overrides your code, I guess.

    Did you try to change that?


  • i feel stupid now...YES! It works...

    Hi @ultraman

    Thank you for your message.

    Since you can see results in the Sandbox, the index is fine. No need to rebuild it again. The problem is on the "display results" side.

    With your configuration, the first idea I think is to install the pre-release WPFTS version that contains the latest fix of the Divi Addon for WPFTS. I've sent you the link in private messages.

    Please install it and tell me if it works fine or not.

    In case it still does not work, please tell me which version of Divi Theme you are using, the WPFTS plugin version, and also please explain your search behaviour. Simple try the request like this:

    https://yourdomain.com/?s=<search_phrase>

    And notice if it returns any result.

    Thank you!

    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 @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!
