One other thing. Is it an option to use the index table unless the visitor selects “Exact Match” which would then use the traditional search? That would be a nice option. Seems that would give the best of both worlds.
That did it, thanks!
Okay, things are getting really close to being finished.. a couple more questions.
1) Is it possible for the search setting selections to stay as they are when a page is refreshed? For example, by default I have several categories pre-selected and give the ability for users to de-select whichever they wish. If they go to a new page, all the options are back selected. I suspect cookies would have to be used to accomplish this. I didn’t see anything in the settings.
I’m not really even sure if that would be ideal but I did have a user ask this question. It’s useful when trying to find something in a section and using different keywords. I have the search set to open results in the same window so I could change that to a new window as a suggestion.
2) Is there a way to replace the default WordPress results page with the results from ASP? In essence a results page with the ability to refresh the results, but on an entire page. Right now I’m using search in the sidebar and it’s good for quick access, but would like to limit the results there to say, 5, then use the more results option to redirect to a full page view of ASP results.
I appreciate the plugin, and the quick responses. I know it’s not always possible with the latter.

Thanks, that did take care of that problem. I’ll look into and consider using the index engine, or using exact match. Right now I have exact match as an option, with it set to unchecked by default.
Could you take a look at why some ‘orphan’ results show up when they are not in a selected category?
Example, I type in “Canada” while only selecting the category ‘What the Lord has done with me” but the first couple results are from a page that isn’t in that category.
Hi Ernest, no problem on the reply. I’m working through these things right now and will get you an example on the category filter.
Right now I’m trying to figure out why there are instances where highlighting is turned on, with 50,000 characters deep but no highlighting is showing on some of the live results. I’ve checked those results and there are indeed matches.
See screen shot attached.
I’ve noticed that if I have a post_excerpt it is showing that over and over, even though the search term is not included in the excerpt. If I remove the post_excerpt data, it starts showing some text, but the highlighting is not consistent.
See attached image showing my settings and the results.
I’d expect it to show the location of the search term in every result, not just some of them.
Thank you
Ronnie
