Hi Ernest,
Thank you for adding the post-formats to the titles filter. The feature is working flawlessly, and I have tested it for all post-formats. It is also working correctly for the default post-format. This has really enhanced this filter, and I am very happy with how this turned out. Thank you!
There is only one thing left associated with the titles filter that you missed again for some reason. This is very important or I won’t even be able to use this filter at all. I think you have been confusing this request with the question I asked about the taxonomy content-type filter (in the settings).
I’m going to rewrite this here to make it clear…
You added this option previously so we could separate the names of the taxonomy types in the titles: $separate_taxonomies = true;
Whenever a taxonomy content-type is displayed in the titles it is using the words “Categories” or “Tags.” The problem here is the name “Tags,” as we do not use this term on our site. We call our tags “Subcategories.” In other words, we have Categories and Subcategories on our platform. Therefore it must use the term “Subcategories” instead of “Tags” when displaying this in the titles.
What I need here are two display options where I can simply specify the names to display. One option will be the name for categories, and the other is the name for tags. This should be very simple since all we are doing here is replacing the name in the string.
…..
Here are two more things of note related to the titles filter:
a. You have an extra space in this line of your code which causes the Gallery post-format not to display: ‘gallery ‘ => ‘Gallery format’,
b. We need to be able to limit the number of words that display in the titles (for all titles in the search results). This would be a maximum word count which we would specify. Any titles longer than that number of words would display an ellipsis where the title is cut off. We’ve had to create this feature over and over again on our site wherever post titles display because some of our post-formats can have long titles (namely Questions). You probably have a filter already created for this purpose somewhere, as I doubt I’m the first person to need this.

Related Question: Separating Taxonomy Types in Content-Type Filters
You actually misunderstood what I was referring to. What I want to separate is the content-type filter option for taxonomies. If you include the taxonomies in those filters it displays a single filter option that includes both categories and tags. What I would like to have is separate content-type filters for categories and tags. As to your point above, yes, we use those filters as well so users can select/exclude individual categories from the search (we don’t use the tags filters because we have endless tags). But we also use the content-type filters and this is where it combines the taxonomies into a single option.
I think I understand this now – you need to ‘separate’ the taxonomy content type filter into two parts based on the taxonomy. Unfortunately this is still not going to be possible. I was thinking of a possible approach, by somehow using the taxonomy field within the terms query, but it is too complicated to make it work on both the filters and the query itself at this state.
I figured this was probably going to be difficult, and appreciate your thinking about this. Now that we are including the separate taxonomy names in the titles this is less of a problem. If someone filters the search to only display categories/tags they will receive a combined list, but the titles will separate the categories from the tags. So this isn’t really that bad a problem anymore.
…..
That covers everything beyond the few issues you’re including in the coming updates. Of all those issues this is the one that is most important since it is a bug affecting all our searches: New Bug Related to the No Results Container.
I’ll keep an eye out on next updates of course.
Thank you for everything Ernest. You’ve been amazing on these filters!
