Thank you very much for your great help and support.

OK, it works but VERY SLOW!

Question: I have set all custom fields to LIKE.
Could you please explain how this comparison is done and wether it can be fine tuned in some way.
What id the search term is two words: Placido Domingo or Domingo Placido
In the ACF field is a comma separated list of singers.

attached my settings for the custom fields and the index

You can search for Tosca in Opera.
toggle Search in title on / off
You can compare with the standard search in the right sidebar !

I have a two column layout now.
I want to change to a one column layout but I do not find where to modify this.

Hello Ernest,
Thanks.
I configured an index according to instructions.
I added all the custom fields which I had before.
I created the index. All well. I turned on the index.

But it does not work properly.
I do not get any results from the custom fields.
If I search the title it works.

What is wrong ?
Kurt

Ernest,
Thanks – it is getting better and better.
What I really meant: there should be “number of results found” displayed…
But I found it here https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/layout-settings/results-information-box
Turned it on and it works.

So there is one main issue left:
I have a large database (14000 posts) with very many ACF custom fields to search.
So it is very slow.
So I guess I should use the indexing.
Is the index automatically updated for new and modified posts?
or has it be rebuilt manually each time ?

The filtered search is much faster because it only searches one field.
Opposed to the search box which has to search everything.
Is it possible to remove the search box and use the filters only ?

Hello Ernest,

Thank you for your reply.

You probably got an old advanced search from the cache.
I cleared the cache now. The short code is ok.
Works much better now.
Is it possible to get the results box larger? to make more results visible without scrolling:

I cannot find where to turn on the display of number of results. Please point me to it.

Is is possible to get the same results display for the search box and for the filters ?

Kurt
