Pro Search Not Working

[Vince Ferrinho]

Hi, I have setup this website and Ajex search pro plugin.

But if you go to this following page and scroll down you will see a section FAQ the FAQ created by a plugin called “Better Faq” in your plugin the option to search post type appears but when I search the faq it redirects me to the homepage instead going to the perticular search section as per the other search content.

https://staging.sensysnetworks.com/resources/

type this in the search bar.
Can the repeater battery be monitored?
https://staging.sensysnetworks.com/resources/?betterdocs_faq=can-the-repeater-battery-be-monitored

It goes to this link.. which is not correct it suppose to take the section where the actual faq mentioned.

Also there is another problem. Now when I search it gives a 403 error.
Need Help sorting this out.

Thanks.

Hi,

The FAQ post type is most likely only for storage purposes, as those items does not have actual post type pages, they are integrated into the page itself – meaning that they are not meant to be searchable individually.

It goes to this link.. which is not correct it suppose to take the section where the actual faq mentioned.
That’s unfortunately not possible to do that way as the faq links are in no relation to the page where are placed on, WordPress will always return the FAQ links, which are non-existent pages.

It might be possible to index the FAQ contents as contents of the resources page within the Pro version via the Index Table engine. However please note that in that case not the individual FAQ items will be returned but the resources page itself.

I have configured that it for you, and enabled the pro version. Now the FAQ will be found in the corresponding page and highlighted and scrolled to it, please see:

This is as close as it can get without major customizations. It may not work perfectly in all cases, as this is not designed for such use case at all.

If you need an in-page search engine, that needs to be fully custom coded.

Sure!

– I have disabled Ajax Search Lite and Enabled Pro: https://i.imgur.com/b5mA4hK.png
– On the index table I choose this configuration and indexed: https://i.imgur.com/3iFUkin.png
– On the search instance settings I selected the index table and choose only posts and pages: https://i.imgur.com/GqPXZcR.png
