Dear Andreas!
Thank you very much for the rating and the positive review, I appreciate that.
I’m planning lot of things for the plugin in the future, right now I’m gathering suggestions like yours. I like the idea of selecting related posts based views, category, tags etc.. I’m 99% sure, that you will see something similar in the future updates, thank you for the very nice suggestions!
Hi!
Thank you for the details, I couldn’t get to fix the issue yet. It’s a javascript problem. As soon as I get to my workstation I will fix it. (in 24 hours tops)
Thank you for the patience!
Hi!
It has been a server outage at our host, maybe that’s the reason. You should get a notification of this reply.
You can edit your first post, there are private fields for ftp access (only visible for me and you). If the forum won’t let you edit the first post, then you can upload a txt file zipped with details. File uploads in your topics are also only visible for you and me only.
Hi!
1. You can turn it off on the layout panel: http://i.imgur.com/X6tiiWA.png
2. The speed mostly depends on:
- The amount and quality of the wordpress plugins installed.
- The server response time
- The database size
80% of the time of the ajax request is the loading of the wordpress core. Some plugins load themselves on ajax requests as well – that’s a huge slowdown. The only thing to do about this is to try other plugins or try the search without plugins.
Big databases also can affect the speed, but usually under 10 000 records they are barely visible – I think it’s not your case.
The server response time can be very different from different locations and the wordpress core affects it exponentially.
Try to turn off the relevance and the term search, in some cases it helps a lot:

Can you link me to a page, where the search is enabled, perhaps with phrases you are trying to search for?
My first guess would be a visual editor conflict, but I can’t confirm that yet. Some visual editors store the post data outside the posts table, which makes it impossible to look for, but I highly doubt that this is the case now.
It’s more likely, that the ajax request gets stuck somwhere, I might need an temporary ftp account to confirm that, and to do a quick debugging on the search code.
I looked at the configuration, it looks fine, so it’s not that.
Hi!
It sounds like the wp_ajaxsearchpro and the wp_ajaxsearchpro_statistics tables were not created when the plugin was activated.
Try to deactivate and activate the plugin again, it might work.If not, then please try to check with your phpmyadmin if the above mentioned two tables exist in your database, if you can.
Let me know what you find!
Hi!
I could not log in with the administrator credentials, but I still managed to find the issue. Some plugin or template function is hooking on the content template and when the search applies it on the content it breaks it – most likely getting into an infinite loop.
I disabled that one line in the search code, now it should work fine.
Hi!
It is possible to both completely change the title or the content to a custom field, or to show a custom field after/before the title or the content.
Depending on which one do you want to achieve there are to option groups on the advanced options panel in the search settings.
1. http://i.imgur.com/YxCxp7K.png – as you can see, you can change the complete title/description field to a custom field value
2. http://i.imgur.com/CA5pkIT.png – this is a bit more complicated. But in this case you can show both the title/description field and the custom field value you want.
For example you have a custom field named “custom_field1” and you want to show it before the title separated by a dash, you need to type this into the advanced title field: {titlefield} – {custom_field1}
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Please open a different ticket with the issue, so you can provide temp login details as well. I’m suspecting a plugin incompatibility, but the only way to find out is to check it.
No problem at all, you’r welcome! If you like the search please drop a rating on it on codecanyon in your spare time: http://codecanyon.net/item/ajax-search-pro-for-wordpress/3357410
Thank you very much!
You were right!
The problem was that it still tried to filter the results by “phantom” categories and that’s different for every site. Now that I have modified that code part it should show exatly the same results for each site.
This was also the problem with the local search, so I was lucky to fix both issues. I have tried several phrases to test it, and it was succesful.
Please note that the default wordpress search results (when clicking the magnifier) may and will differ in some cases, because Ajax Search pro plugin cannot affect those results. (it probably will in the future) They should be similar though.
Hi!
I have made a hotfix for the WPML issue. I’m using WMPL 3.1.4 as I can’t download an earlier version. It should work regardless. I’m attaching it to this post. Please uninstall the search plugin, and install this one isntead.
As for the second issue, I’m not sure where it is coming from, because it states “Unknown on line 0
” which is very unusual. Please try do temporary disable autocomplete for now, until the error reporting is turned off: http://i.imgur.com/QmyCgmo.pngI’m sure it’s related to something else, because it does not indicate a problem with the search, something else prints the error message before the ajax request is finished, then it’s printed into the autocomplete box.
Hi!
I have managed to find the bug hiding in the code. It was something wrong with the relevance query which messed up the results. Now you should see more results, more relevant results, but the same results for each global search. I’m adding this fix to the upcoming version as well.
As for the local search, the “search while typing” function was disabled, while the magnifier redirected to the default search page, thus it was only a bad configuration. It should also show the results while typing.
I hope it’s working now as you imagined!
Hi!
1. I will look into this when I get back to the office tomorrow, it’s probably only a minor bug, or the wpml version has changed since the last update. This issue was fixed before, but I guess something had changed in WPML since then.
2. I didn’t get the attached image (at least I can’t see it right now), can you send it again, or upload it somewhere?
Thanks! Will get back to you tomorrow morning.
