Can we make the default text for both editing and the default site theme sans-serif? This would improve accessibility for people with dyslexia. (More info below)
Can we make the default text on www.ads-software.com and wordpress.com a sans-serif type of font (ex. Arial, Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Avenir)? For people with dyslexia, serif fonts (ex. Times New Roman, Georgia, Baskerville, Garamond, Rockwell) are harder to read than sans-serif fonts. This fix would make both editing and reading any WordPress site much easier for many people. I have noticed on my wordpress.com site that, although I set the text on my published site to be sans-serif, the text in my editor is still a serif font. I would make this change myself, but I don’t know how to code. (Hopefully, I will have time to learn some day–teacher schedules are insane.)
As a note on my background: I do not have dyslexia myself. I am an educator who has studied this topic and worked with students with dyslexia. I also had a job editing documents to make them web accessible according to section 508** guidelines. I would love to have input on these suggestions from people with dyslexia.
Other helpful changes:
1) Provide a notice when users choose a serif-type font — I would love for users to receive a notice when they choose a serif type font that says choosing a serif font may make it more difficult for some users to read. From my understanding of how font types affect people with dyslexia, using a serif font will not have as much of an effect in headings because the size of the text is so much bigger, and it tends to only have one line of text instead of multiple.
2) Accessible Themes Sticker/Search — Add a tag for accessible themes, give priority to accessible themes in the search bar (they would show up at the top of any search), and add an accessible sticker to the top right corner of all accessible
3) Accessible Type/Font Button — This one would be a lot harder, but would be very helpful. Site readers would have the option to change all font to a sans-serif type (I really like open sans, but another sans-serif font would work just as well). Other things this button could do to help would be to space lines apart (auto double space), and to automatically make the minimum font size 12pt (which is the suggested minimum according to section 508** guidelines).

]]>Hi,
i have a few important questions about the plugin.
Does the plugin use google webfonts?
Does the plugin store any personal data in the wordpress data or others?
Does the plugin send any data to third party servers?
Does the plugin use cookies?
The reason is the EU GDPR and whether the plugin is compliant with it.
Thank you!

which adress add to. when i turned on caching system? after i turned on instanst suggest stoped working. i tried to add to whitelist without caching address:

]]>Hi, thanks for such a great plugin!
I tried to sort results based on tag count. I think it’s possible as tag count is already queried, right? Hope you give it a shot!
And, is it possible to query with “OR” for keywords. this way more suggestions would be listed from tags. // I’ll use this plugin just with tag suggestion. And it looks great!
Best,

I need to change some things in the plugin to fit my website needs and functionality. So I wrote below code in iss-theme.php file and understood that these functions(is_page_template, is_search, is_tax, is_singular) aren’t working at all inside that file:
$search_refer = $_GET["post_type"];
if(is_page_template('home.php') || (is_search() && $search_refer == 'some-referrer') || is_tax('pd-category') || is_singular('some-post-type')){
$search_refer = 'referrer1';
}elseif((is_search() && $search_refer == 'some-referrer') || is_page_template('page-supp.php')){
$search_refer = 'referrer2';
}What’s the issue please? I need urgent help on this please.
Thanks
Thanks for the useful plugin.
The only question is how to reverse the suggestion results.
Case in point: I type quinoa in the search box and the result most relevant to my search is at the bottom of the list. Is there a way to toggle between descending and ascending suggestion results?
The plugin has been working great and still works, but all of a sudden I’m getting rogue characters in the search suggestions before and after the title. You can find the live site here:
www[dot]bwtrimawr[dot]co[dot]uk/funeral-announcements/
Nothing’s really changed on the site bar new posts added, so not sure what it could be. Anybody else experience this and has a solution?
Thanks
]]>It would be great if we could easily limit plugin to specific pages only, in my case front page. (enqueing scripts and all that)
Also I am not sure what “Instant Search #id/.class – The HTML #id or .class of your theme’s content area. e” does? If this is what should limit plugin then it doesn’t do anything.
]]>Hello Scott,
Loving your widget! I’ve run into some trouble with our search suggestions populating. When clicking on the Quick Search & Suggestion box, the drop-down list of suggestions does not pop up on the first click. After a second click the suggestion box pops up, however, there is a slight delay before this occurs. This problem is prevalent on both search boxes (we have two on our homepage). Our main concern is just the consistency when users attempt to search.
Our webpage is as follows: https://ecosystem.blacktechmecca.org/
Please let me know of any solutions to this small problem. Thank you.
]]>Hi,
I noticed that my ‘View all results’ link was broken, as my site’s address is different to the WordPress installation directory. Fixed by changing:
'permalink' => add_query_arg( array( 's' => $s ), home_url() ),
to
'permalink' => add_query_arg( array( 's' => $s ), site_url() ),
in iss-ajax.php.
Just letting you know in case you’re still making updates!
]]>The plugin does not seem to work with latest jQuery 3.1.0. I experienced the issue when I deregistered the standard jQuery version that comes with WordPress and enqueued the latest jQuery (3.1.0).
]]>In a typical WordPress search form, you can specify the field “post_type” to limit the search to specific post types. It would be helpful if this plugin passed that field value (if present) to the AJAX call so that you can have different search forms in the site.

…pure awesomeness ‘ya got goin’ here!
Hey, is it just me, but is the Instant Search Suggest only “suggesting” one time?
Recreation is a bit simple:
woocommerceHOMEwoocommerceOn my end, your Instant Search works once, then decides to take a coffee break. It doesn’t want to fire up correctly until I make another fresh incognito session & do another search.
Now, here’s whats under the hood:
HOWEVER, I really don’t reckon any of that’d matter enough to make the second search not wanna cooperate.
Can you think of why that’d be happening?
error_log? Nope.
console errors? other than me getting pissed at font-awesome? Nope.
my page of your setting = https://prntscr.com/c3ktuu
Thanks Scott!
How can I help Y-O-U?

]]>Hello Scott,
first, great Plugin.
In my theme i have a buttton (on click) that load the searchfield in a layer and opens the layer. (with JS)
After the whole page is loaded, there is still no content in this layer, so suggest-search is not loaded/activated.
Can I initialize/enable the suggest-search later after the layer has gotten its Searchfield?
Thanks

]]>The problem is when you have a word like “Paddy” in your suggested search. First time when you enter just “pa” it works fine. But, you delete that and enter again just “pa”, the instant suggest drops pan class=”is_match”>Papan>ddy.
So if you again delete the last “a” letter, or both “pa”, and enter them again, the list gets bigger and bigger, and slows down the site.

]]>Hi scott,
This plugin works like a miracle for my blog. I can’t understand why people pay hundreds of dollars for swiftype or elastic-search hosted services.
And now I am developing a new yellow page website with about 100k posts and want to use this plugin on that too. But my friend says it uses standard mysql database and chokes up at about 1000 or 2000 posts and Ideally i should use either swiftype or elasticsearch. Is this true? Is there a known maximum limit to this one?

my site is https://bmtutoring.com and as u’ll see its taking around 3 sec for the query to be completed.. infact mostly, i edit the word and so 3-4 queries are pending at a time.. any suggestion to optimize this time?

]]>Hi Scott,
Is there a way to change the default sort of the suggestions listed?
Right now it displays in alphabetical order and below each suggestion is the name of the taxonomy and a count number, ideally we’d like the suggestions to be in order of that count – which would be more relevant.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

]]>Hi Scott,
Great plugin, thank you for sharing a free version. ??
IS&S works perfectly when using a default WP search form, however I use Search & Filter Pro to enhance the search results and allow for filtering, but your IS&S plugin does not recognize this search box in order to suggest search terms, because S&F does not use the standard WP search parameter ID of ‘s’, instead it uses ‘_sf_s’.
I thought that perhaps (short term) I could hack the plugin to modify what it will recognize, and then ask if you’d consider adding this as a setting. BUT when I found (in /assets/iss-ajax.php) and changed this line below:
$remote = wp_remote_get( home_url() . '/?s='.urlencode( sanitize_text_field ( stripslashes( $_GET['s'] ) ) ) );
to read like this:
$remote = wp_remote_get( home_url() . '/?_sf_s='.urlencode( sanitize_text_field ( stripslashes( $_GET['_sf_s'] ) ) ) );
It did not work…..still no suggestions on the S&F search form.
Can you please suggest a way that I can use your plugin to work with with S&F Pro search form?
Many thanks!

]]>Hi, is there a way how to disable link to Instant search settings in admin menu? The problem is it causes disappearing of another plugin from admin menu which is crucial (invoicing).
I tried to hide it with css, but it didn’t help. The only solution I found for now is to deactivate Instant Search while I need to issue invoices and then activate it again. Which is quite annoying.
If you find the solution, I will definitely go for the paid version of your plugin ??

my plugin works nice thank you, one thing [to other with space in previous topic:>] is that after copy and paste it dont find any result, typing from keyboard works fine.
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/instant-search-suggest/
]]>Thank you for your great plugin.
I am using your plugin for a custom post type (WooCommerce products).
When clicking the “View all results” button, I am redirected to the default WordPress search results page.
What I wanted to do was to be redirected to the WooCommerce search result page (that follow the layout of the store).
So I tweaked the file assets/inc/iss-ajax.php, by changing line 202 from:
'permalink' => add_query_arg( array( 's' => $s ), site_url() ),
to:
'permalink' => add_query_arg( array( 's' => $s.'&post_type=product' ), site_url() ),
Is there a better way to do this, without having to alter the plugin files?
Thank you in advance!

]]>Hi Scott,
Pretty awesome plugin, thanks for contributing this – only question I have is why it runs slow on my website. I takes about 8 seconds before suggestions are given (so a user is likely to click the “search” button before waiting for suggestions). Otherwise my website loads fairly quickly, e.g. 2-3 seconds so I don’t think it’s general speed issue.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

<span class="iss-sub">{{posttype}}</span>This is how plugin shows post date and type. Is it possible to show category or tags?
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/instant-search-suggest/
]]>This is great plugin, I currently have it setup to suggest from a list of custom post types and its working just fine.
I am wondering however is it possible to have it match a post based on any keyword contained within that custom post type page and in any sequence.
For example when I do a search for keywords contained within the body of the page, no suggestions are displayed.
And when I do a search for a post who’s title is “This is a blue car”. When I search just ‘my blue car’ no posts are suggested. It would appear that appending the word my, or any other word that is not contained within the post title causes the plugin to not give a suggestion.
Would appreciate any help regarding this.
Thanks.
