customize search page result

Hi,

Since enfold only uses the default wordpress search you would need to use a plugin to do something like that. Its unfortunately quite hard to group the search results as you would require it (the wordpress default ist to mix those and list them by date) so I dont think there is a simple code snippet that we can offer that fixes this for you.

However, some of the more advanced search plugins might work fine for you. eg:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/relevanssi/

It states that it can sort results by relevance and not by date, which might work fine for you ;)

Hi,

The default query sorts all entries based on the date. You can of course try to use a snippet like this in your themes/child themes functions.php but I consider not messing with it and using a plugin the better option.

But feel free to try this, I found it on stackoverflow, maybe it works as you want it :)

add_filter( 'posts_clauses', 'post_query_order', 20, 1 );
function post_query_order( $pieces )
{
    global $wpdb;
    $pieces['orderby'] = $wpdb->prefix.'posts.post_type ASC';
    return $pieces;
}

Hi,

You can try something like, this:

add_filter( 'posts_clauses', 'post_query_order', 20, 1 );
function post_query_order( $pieces )
{
if(is_search()){
    global $wpdb;
    $pieces['orderby'] = $wpdb->prefix.'posts.post_type ASC';
}
    return $pieces;
}
