Hi – one more question. I’ve added Tags to my index, and search in tags, along with product titles now. How do I get Product title matches to show up first in results? I seem to have a mishmash of tag matches showing up before our thumbnail imaged product matches (see screenshot)

Where do I control the order of results, or is this possible?

Thank you

Ahh I see – so it is possible to build it manually. Great video and great plugin!

Thanks!

[billium99]

No – I believe the product was added fresh, via Cloner, was not changed via save_post or wp_insert_post, and can be searched by name but not SKU. We’re still investigating on this end, but perhaps we added SKU after the hook, in our script.

But if my answer doesn’t make any sense, don’t worry about it for now. I have my developer looking at the code literally as I type this…

Thanks

Bill

Interesting – but how do we find the product via product name if we haven’t triggered save_post hook?

[billium99]

Hi Ernest,

Thanks so much for this – I will deploy this shortly and let you know if we have any snags. However, I have an unrelated (I think) question.

This client with the 4 sites clones new products after creating in the US site. We built a “cloner” tool where they can pick and choose which other “child” sites to push the new product data and images out to.

Product name search in your Ajax plugin seems to always work great here, despite us not having a traditional Save Product action on the Add/Edit products page in WooCommerce. However, we recently added SKU (with your help I believe) as a searchable element, and after cloning, the SKUs don’t ever seem to come available in search until we manually rebuild the index.

Is there a way to include SKU in whatever process is allowing our cloner to create products without saving, that nonetheless can be found by the index? Any idea why it’s different for SKU vs Product Name?

Thanks again!

Bill

Thanks – I’m using WooCommerce own Catalog Visibility Options plugin to prevent them from being visible. Can we tie into that somehow?

[billium99]

Never mind I got it figured out! Thanks for the help.

OK so that does work in the menu area, however, is there anything to be done about the results box width? I’d like to have it wider than the current container of the search box.

Is that what the results short code is for?

[billium99]

OK now I see – yes this was the HTML block where I attempted to place the search box. It works on the page now, but it will not work in the Flatsome menu structure…

Under Appearance > Customize you can access the layout options. Mouse over the header menu, for example and you should be able to select any of the elements to bring up the layout editor. In there I’ve tried Blocks and the HTML widget, both of which support short codes. Here is the shortcode I had in there:

[wd_asp elements='search,settings,results' ratio='30%,70%,100%' id=1]

This won’t work, despite working fine on the page itself.

[billium99]

Weird! OK I’ll check this out…

[billium99]

Excellent – thank you!

[billium99]

In fact, doing this pushed one of the two needed results further down the list.

So again, searching “cataplex f” used to find only Cataplex F Soft Gels and then all sorts of other cataplex variations. Now that same search puts Cataplex F Soft Gels in the 8th position.

Any other suggestions?

[billium99]

Thanks for the reply! I’ll take a closer look at the plugins. We don’t wantonly add plugins though. Unfortunately everything is so compartmentalized in WordPress and WooCommerce in particular, that stores with many features become exactly what this site is: a bloated mess.
