Which version of MySQL your server is using? Relevanssi Light requires a new enough version that supports fulltext indexing. However, if the database version is too old, Relevanssi Light shouldn’t have an effect on the searches, but still, it’s a good idea to check.
Does the search work fine without Relevanssi Light?
Can you check the database to see if Relevanssi Light was able to add the fulltext index to the wp_posts
table? There should be an index with the name relevanssi_light_fulltext
in the wp_posts
table.
If you want, I’d be happy to debug this a bit on your site –?this is a new product that hasn’t been extensively tested in the wild yet, and I’d like to take every opportunity to improve it. If you’re interested, you can drop me an email at [email protected].
If you want a more reliable solution, you can use regular Relevanssi.
