How to include / in a search

  • Hello,

    On my e-commerce site, I need the users to be able to search for the term:
    AC/DC

    Now, it only shows 2 items (there is almost 200 items with the string AC/DC)

    I believe the issue comes from the /

    I’ve be looking to make it so that the / is not consider as a special character, but with no luck so far.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best regards

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi, you’re on the right track. You need to make Relevanssi remove the slashes, instead of replacing them with spaces. Here’s how you do that:

    add_filter( 'relevanssi_punctuation_filter', 'rlv_adjust_punctuation' );
function rlv_adjust_punctuation( $replacements ) {
    $replacements['/'] = '';
    return $replacements;
}

    Add this to your theme functions.php or in a code snippet and then rebuild the index.

    Thanks so much! It works perfectly.
