Instant search not matching search results

You can use Relevanssi for the ajax search query. Open up enfoldfunctions-enfold.php and replace

$defaults = array('numberposts' => 5, 'post_type' => 'any', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'post_password' => '', 'suppress_filters' => false);

$_REQUEST['s'] = apply_filters( 'get_search_query', $_REQUEST['s']);



$query = array_merge($defaults, $_REQUEST);

$query = apply_filters('avf_ajax_search_query', http_build_query($query) );

$posts = get_posts( $query );

with

$defaults = array('numberposts' => 5, 'post_type' => 'any', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'post_password' => '', 'suppress_filters' => false);

$_REQUEST['s'] = apply_filters( 'get_search_query', $_REQUEST['s']);



$searchquery = array_merge($defaults, $_REQUEST);



if(!function_exists('relevanssi_do_query'))

{

$searchquery = apply_filters('avf_ajax_search_query', http_build_query($searchquery));

$posts = get_posts($searchquery);

}

else

{

global $query;

$tempquery = $query;

$searchquery = apply_filters('avf_ajax_search_query', $searchquery);



$tempquery->query_vars = $searchquery;

relevanssi_do_query($tempquery);

$posts = $tempquery->posts;

}

We added a filter to the theme. In the next version you’ll be able to include this code without modifying the function (eg you can use a child theme then). I’ll post the code here when we released the update.

Update – with the next version following code should be used instead

add_filter('avf_ajax_search_function', 'avia_init_relevanssi', 10, 4);

function avia_init_relevanssi($function_name, $search_query, $search_parameters, $defaults)

{

$function_name = 'avia_relevanssi_search';

return $function_name;

}



function avia_relevanssi_search($search_query, $search_parameters, $defaults)

{

global $query;

$tempquery = $query;



$tempquery->query_vars = $search_parameters;

relevanssi_do_query($tempquery);

$posts = $tempquery->posts;



return $posts;

}
