It’s working! Thanks so much!
So I should just hold off on upgrading the plugin in the future to avoid this again? Are there any issues with doing that?
Ok got it. Can you help update the file to the way it was since I already updated the plugin? I can provide FTP access.
Ernest,
Exactly, it was with custom field priority. I can revert to an older version of the site, but I would like to ensure this doesn’t happen each time the plugin is updated. Below is our conversation we had a few months ago – of course I didn’t expect you to remember every detail!

Thank you for your help!
Also, but I wonder if it would be possible have a 3rd tier as the “Exact” match. Just so when you type in a town, you get the properties in the exact town first no matter what. There might be a situation somewhere in there where a bunch of properties grouped close in a neighboring town will still override the town. I can see it potentially happening with what we have around Union/Elizabeth off the top of my head. Elizabeth is like 1 mile away and the 4 complexes there should show up near the top but it could push the actual Union property to like the 5th on the list for typing in “Union”
Hi Ernest,
I made the update, but it doesn’t seem like the close_match relevance increase is working.
For example, when you search “elizabeth” the first three results are “Water’s Edge at Rahway, Carlyle, and Elron.”
Water’s Edge and Carlyle do not have “elizabeth” in the close_match field, but Elron does.
Any other ideas?
Ernest,
Thanks for your response! I appreciate your detailed explanation as well. That should definitely help with things.
I have another issue with the order that properties are displayed/ordered. Should it be pulling results according to the order the keywords are listed? Or does it have some different logic? The secondary type results don’t have to be ordered perfectly as it gets further, away but the property that is in the exact town (and the close surrounding) typed in does definitely need to be pulled first.
Is it possible to pull from two custom fields and factor that into order? We could we have a “close_match” field and then the “search_locations” field where the property results from the “close_match” would show up first and the remainder from “search_locations” after?
