Live Search & Elementor Posts Widget

[Southernstarz2023]

Hi, I am trying to live search some of my products and it’s not working 100% correctly. Instead of typing the explanation, I figured a screenshare video would explain it better.

Here is the link to the video where I walk you through the problem I am having.

Hi Phoebe,

The issue is the combination of that custom query and the plugin. The regular elementor Posts shortcode does not have that. It must be pushing a custom query/override query, which the search cannot recognize and use.
I think, that the only possible solution is, to add the same inclusion rule to the search as well, you can read about taxonomy term based inclusions here. That way, the results will be restricted to the same tag, that should do it.

Please note, that I cannot guarantee that this combination is going to work, as that is not the native elementor posts widget, but a custom one.

Hello,

Thank you for the response. I tried including the custom tag in the inclusions settings but it did not work. I will have to try adding the custom text to the native Products widget.

Thanks, Phoebe

Have you also tried enabling this option? It may make a big difference.
