Relevansi plugin + Ajax Search for Everyone

Sorry, I was not clear enough.

I want to (and thought) that I can search both (posts and products) due to Relevanssi.

So when I was testing, I was trying to search posts results and this is why I thought Relevanssi didn’t work. But in fact, it works (with products only)

There’s no simple way to search products AND post?

I have a solution but you will lost the ability to choose what post type every search form will bring. Basically every search form by default will search for products and posts and portfolio items. If you are ok with this tell me to write the solution.

I only have two customs header with the same search form, well it wouldn’t be an issue if I can’t choose anymore between types (post, portfolio, products)
So yes, I’m really grateful if you can write me a code snippet to overpass this woodmart settings/default behavior!

Thank you very much

It’s not a snippet. You have to manually delete and add some code, but beware. In every theme update you have to apply the same settings.

So 1st go to:

/wp-content/themes/woodmart/inc/builder/elements/Search.php

and delete the following code from line 119 to 140

'post_type' => array(
						'id' => 'post_type',
						'title' => esc_html__( 'Post type', 'woodmart' ),
						'type' => 'selector',
						'tab' => esc_html__( 'General', 'woodmart' ),
						'value' => 'product',
						'options' => array(
							'product' => array(
								'value' => 'product',
								'label' => esc_html__( 'Product', 'woodmart' ),
							),
							'post' => array(
								'value' => 'post',
								'label' => esc_html__( 'Post', 'woodmart' ),
							),
							'portfolio' => array(
								'value' => 'portfolio',
								'label' => esc_html__( 'Portfolio', 'woodmart' ),
							),
						),
						'description' => esc_html__( 'You can set up the search for posts, projects or for products (woocommerce).', 'woodmart' ),
					),

2nd go to:

/wp-content/themes/woodmart/inc/modules/search.php

In line 194 replace the

$post_type = 'product';

with this code

$post_type = array('post', 'product', 'portfolio');

After that go to your header builder. Open your header go to the search widget click edit save and lastly save header.

Clear cache and go make a search.

Now you should see products posts portfolio items as long as you have indexed them with relevanssi

No problem, I will save this two files and re-upload them on woodmart updates. (if they don’t make change in this files I guess)

Thank you so soo much!!! It worked at the first try by following your process.

So now I get my ajax relevanssi deeper search working, also I can search posts and products.
Woodmart + your custom code is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks again, I think this thread will be usefull for others users.

Dear,

I am not able to make the Relevanssi plugin work with Woodmart. Can you please review the steps below and make sure that I got it all right?

1. I’ve created a staging site where I’ve modified the file search.php in the location /wp-content/themes/woodmart/inc/modules where I’ve added the code relevanssi_do_query($results); after the line 241 in the Woodmart v4.0.2

2. I’ve added in functions.php the code

add_filter('relevanssi_content_to_index', 'rlv_index_variation_skus', 10, 2);
function rlv_index_variation_skus($content, $post) {
	if ($post->post_type == "product") {
		$args = array('post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_type' => 'product_variation', 'posts_per_page' => -1);
		$variations = get_posts($args);
		if (!empty($variations)) {
			foreach ($variations as $variation) {
				$sku = get_post_meta($variation->ID, '_sku', true);
				$content .= " $sku";
			}
		}
	}
 
	return $content;
}

3. I’ve checked that the search feature in the Woodmart header builder is set to “AJAX Search Results”

However, I’m still not getting the results from Relevanssi. What did I do wrong?
Thanks

You have to also create the Relevanssi index.

Go to Settings > Relevanssi > Indexing

Choose

Post types > Checkbox > product, product_variation

Taxonomies > product_cat, product_tag + what other taxonomy you want to search

Custom Fields > Some > _sku, _sale_price

Save options

and then Build Index.

It is working still in 4.0.2 everything is good

@newsprince

I’ve done exactly as you said, but it does not work. I don’t understand what’s wrong…

Do you mind I grant you access to my staging site and you tell me what I’ve done wrong?

Thanks

@gevcen

Send me an email to news@princeoliver.com

Hi @newsprince it seems that search.php is not available/visible on /wp-content/themes/woodmart/inc/classes/ folder. Do you have any way on how to insert this line of code
relevanssi_do_query( $results );

Thank you!

@topmosth

Latest version of Woodmart 4.1 has an option to turn on relevanssi search now without any custom code.

Go to Theme Settings > Shop > Use Relevanssi for AJAX search > ON

Hi,
thanks for the hard work,
the search dose not seems respect the product category. it load whatever match the search string.
is there a workaround ?

@hallbird

You can index the product category taxonomy if that you mean.

Hi,
I did index the category and tags for product,
In homepage when I select a certain category the number of return data should be limited to that category actually it’s not, it pull all the data.

@hallbird

Yes sorry the relevanssi does not respect the chosen category from woodmart ajax search like it does without the relevanssi enabled.

I don’t have a solution for this. Maybe Artem Temos can help.

Hi
Thanks for the update,
That’s sad such amazing functionality cannot be controlled by category,
Then I have to remove the category from the search bar since it will be misleading.
I hope a fix can be provided.

Hi, i’d like to make work search for tags, is it possible?
i want search tool, find by categories, but also by tags, i hope you can help me, thanks.

@vikdcp

Yes it is possible. Go to relevanssi plugin settings and check to index the tags or what ever you like. Rebuild the index and then the search will bring products from tags search

Does anyone know if this still works?

It’s truly a pain to not be able to search product tags on the theme…

Thanks in advance.

I’m interested too

@Loralora

I’ve figured it out.

Go to Theme Settings > Shop > Use Relevanssi for AJAX search > ON

You must index your products after installing the plugin, then turn on the setting for it to work
