Thank you for your help. I knew it was something like that but I thought I had tried that out already, so apologies for wasting your time.
The strange thing is, it doesn’t do that. I have set up the search to be based on relevance and then title desc.
The autocomplete even finds the title and suggests it, but it doesnt come up first.I believe the reason for this is the nature of the custom post type.
I need external links to be shown in the search results. To achieve this i created a custom post type with a custom field for the link. The permalink for the page is the custom field. So when the search finds the title of the page, it links out to the external link.
However the relevance of this page seems to be lower, because although the title is correct, it has no content.The search seems to ignore the relevance of someone typing in the exact title and puts in 3rd in the list behind another title that has one or two of the same keywords.
Please see my images and video
I can create a user for you to see all my settings if you wish.Thank you, that does seem to have fixed it. It now works on other people computer too.
I don’t have anything installed on this site at all, it’s very barebones. The only thing that would be different from a very basic wordpress boilerplate setup, is the fact I am using Sage theme https://roots.io/sage/, which is a Laravel style system for WordPress.
Again, appreciate the speed of your reply, when I get a chance I will leave a good review.One question I do have but don’t know where to ask it, I was wondering if you can search for phrase/sentences. For instance, if I have a page on “Garden Waste” I have used the keyword to add in thing such as “Grass” etc, this works perfectly, however I have added in smaller words that don’t seem to work as I believe they are too common to get picked up, like: how do i get rid,
I assume it is ignoring “How” “do” etc because of their frequency and then length, is it possible to put in a keyword sentence, so… “how do i get rid” so that the search starts quicker before the person gets to the keyword of “grass”. I wouldn’t be able to put these sentences into the actual text as more often than not, they are poorly written english sentences but might be search by a user.
Thank you
Hi. I thought this was fixed, but I had not foreseen that the results box might end up being more than 42px.
Strangely it wont render the content inside to its correct automatic height. 42px was correct for the “no results for” but if you type in something that has a lot of “did you mean” links the results box doesn’t grow to fit the content and only goes to 42px, cutting off the rest of the content and adding a scroll bar to it. This doesn’t happen to actually results, only the “did you mean”I have tried overflow:visible !important on the results box and this didn’t seem to help. Any ideas what container i need to target to get the results to expand to their correct size on first search.
Thanks for you help.
It works fine on your demo page. I assume this is very likely something to do with my setup then but narrowing it down is proving tricky.
Hi, thanks for the swift reply.
I have sorted the console error (which i didn’t see, oops) This hasn’t effected it.
I have deleted my browser cache many times, that hasn’t helped. I can understand why you would think it was cache related and I would agree, as this doesn’t occur on my windows laptop. However it did happens on my Mac Book Pro and also a collegues MBP, and I havre tried it via Browser stack and it does it on a few browsers on there too.I have flushed the cache for the domain and I don’t use any CDN’s, as this is basically a test environment with very little on it.
Still can’t quite put a finger on why it does on some and not others.
I have created a video to show you.
