I have search in pages ON, and a particular page category exluded with Exclude taxonomy terms.
However when there is a search the autocomplete doesn’t show page results.
When enter is hit and we go to the wp search page – there we have the page results (the search results page however is controlled by relevanssi plugin.
Also the search is really slow… How can we speed it up?
Could you please link me to the page where this is happening?
Could you please provide temporary admin/ftp access to check the configuration?
Also could you tell an example phrase to search for and the expected results?
The search speed mostly depends on the server speed and the configuration. If your database is big, it’s highly advised to disable search in categories/terms and content as these queries take time for the sql server and for many rows title is more than enough. Also the results count should be limited to around 10.
Please have a look at the configuration. Would really appreciate a tip on how to speed it up. Basically I only need to search in portfolio and a few pages (excluding one big category)
