Page content not showing in search results

[synergyParticipant]

Hi,

I’ve installed Ajax Search Pro on the above development website. It’s just a build and test site at the moment so doesn’t have any live content. I created some test pages and the search function does not appear to be searching the page content. It returns results for the title and any search tags that I’ve placed in the Ajax Search Pro section but nothing from the page content/text.

Also when I look at the setup for searching custom fields there are no fields shown and when I turn on the ‘Search all custom fields?’ section the whole custom fields area greys out.

I’m using the latest version of wordpress and Betheme.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If the content is not searchable, it usually means it’s dynamically generated, and not directly stored in the database. For example using shortcodes only as content. For that, there is a secondary, index table engine, which was built for cases like this. It makes an index of keywords based on visible post content (if possible). Please check these documentation links:
– Index table introduction
– Configuring and Generating the index table

The custom fields are printed by default, due to their possibly extremely large numbers. There is a search field above the custom fields option to look for custom fields: https://i.imgur.com/vgYXnZd.png

When clicking the Search all custom fields? option the area greys out to indicate that the option below is no longer effective, because all custom fields are used anyways – no matter which ones are selected.

Best,
