Hi @juuulieeen

The WPFTS Pro plugin is the tool to search posts and files by content. It does not intend to be used to search exact word position inside the file, because it's a very different task.

But since the plugin extracts PDF content as the raw text, it's still possible to find word position in a file. Maybe I need to add some PHP code for this.

Could you clarify or give me an example of which sort of search inside the PDF file you need? How the result should look?

Thanks.

@jgore No worry about this, this warning will be fixed in the nearest release of WPFTS Pro.

Thanks!

Hi @pettera

Is there a link where I can check it live? It looks like they are different documents (compare titles, for example), but having the same content.

Hi! Sometimes new WPFTS users may notice the strange behavior of the WPFTS search: it works fine in the Sandbox, but the frontend search either makes 0 results, or only the first page of results is present, while the next pages are completely empty.

This behavior can be the result of the Polylang plugin feature (?) which filters posts by the language taxonomy, so only specific posts/pages (that have the assigned language equals to the current language) can be found at the frontend. All other posts/pages (and attachments too) that have no assigned language will be not found at all.

We made a simple addon which blocks this Polylang "feature" and allows all posts/pages to be searched at the frontend.

The code is below.

add_action('pre_get_posts', function($wpq)
{
	if ($wpq->is_main_query() && $wpq->is_search) {
                // Only execute the code below on frontend main search
                $wpq->tax_query = new WP_Tax_Query( array() );
		$wpq->set('lang', '');
		$wpq->set('tax_query', '');
	}			   
}, 99, 1);

You can download it also if you not a pro in coding and/or just don't want to patch theme files.

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.

Hi @melanie-james

First of all, to see attachment contents in Smart Excerpts with Avada theme you need to implement a small patch, which removes the incompatibility of Avada theme.

Hi @melanie-james

Okay, thanks for the example. One more question: do you want this link to be shown inside the Smart Excerpt output or just below it? Are you using Smart Excerpts at all?

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.

Hi @vhutheesing

No, you shouldn't pay. Just get your copy for free and make experiments with it. If you don't like what happens - just remove it and that's it. No need to pay or cancel something.
