Search setup and config

[avagyanlevon]

Hello,

I recently purchased your product and installed it on my WordPress site. After completing the indexation and making some changes to the logic, I noticed that the search functionality is not working correctly. For example:

When searching for “man and woman,” the top results include images of kids.
When searching for “kiwi on white background,” there is an image of garlic above the kiwi.
I need help configuring the search to produce more relevant results. Could you please assist me with this and provide detailed instructions for future adjustments?

Thank you for your support.

Thanks

Levon

Additionally, I noticed that stop words are not functioning correctly; they seem to be working as negative filters.

Hi,

Thank you very much for all the details, it helped a lot.

It was actually a yet unknown bug related to a very specific configuration causing the problem. The issue was related to searching the post IDs, along with the “AND with exact keyword matches” logic + the stop words in combination.

What happened is, that the plugin tried to get “AND” matches from both the indexed sources and the IDs separately, ending up with some results being excluded and reverting back to the secondary logic, as if the primary was never considered.

I have made a few direct changes to the main search code to address that, I will make sure to include that in the upcoming update, so you don’t have to worry about it.

I have also made a few changes on the configuration, adjusted the keyword logic, and also added the stop-words as whole keyword exceptions so when people type it in they are being ignored (as they are not indexed). Now you should get much more relevant matches as expected.

Hi Ernest,

The search function is working very well. I have a few additional questions.

First, I use the Peepso community plugin on my website, which includes post-like functions. Can the Ajax Search Pro plugin calculate post views, Peepso likes, and comments to prioritize search results accordingly?

Second, can Ajax Search Pro display related posts within my Elementor post view widget?

Thank you!

[Ernest Marcinko]

You are welcome!

I’m afraid none of those are possible.

[avagyanlevon]

Ernest, thanks for your reply. Do you know who can do it for me and how much it will cost?

Thanks

[Ernest Marcinko]

I’m sorry Levon, unfortunately I am not available for custom jobs – development and support takes all of my time.

[avagyanlevon]

Sure, I have one more question. Can I set priority for a post based on a specific tag?

For example, if I’m searching for “apple,” I want to prioritize a specific apple image. Currently, it seems that the priority is applied to all tags for the post.

Ernest also after updating template of my website search page crushed please check and let me know

https://aifusionart.com/?s=man&asp_active=1&p_asid=3&p_asp_data=1&filters_initial=1&filters_changed=0&qtranslate_lang=0&peepso_object_id=0&peepso_object_type=0&current_page_id=86576

[Ernest Marcinko]

Well, not exactly specific results for specific tags, but you can prioritize results individually.

Sorry about that crashed page, it was a debug output I forgot to turn off, now it should be okay.

Thanks Ernest

Hi Ernest, how are you?

Can you please check this link https://aifusionart.com/morning-dew-on-majestic-purple-cosmos/

Please ensure that the keywords “PURPLE COSMOS” and “FLOWER” are included in the post.

When I search for “purple flower,” this post does not appear in the search results. Could you explain why?

Thank you.

Hi!

When I saved the post and searched again, it appeared in the results list.

I suspect these posts are generated or imported from somewhere and not made via the post editor. A common issue with these is that the save_post hook is not executed after a post is generated.
Make sure that after the post is generated and all the data, tags etc.. are added, then this hook is also called for each post. This will tell WordPress to do the required maintenance on the post and execute the hooks attached to the save_post hook, such as updating the search index.

[avagyanlevon]

Hi Ernest, this is what my dev guy answer

I do wp_insert_post

it calls the hook
do_action( ‘save_post’, $post_id, $post, $update );

I am checking every new post added not indexing in search engine
