Nothing Found – error for search

That URL you give is incorrect: the search term parameter should be s, not q. Your site search form has it right, though.

So you have a complete index for Relevanssi? Can you show me the search results template from your theme, please?

hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply, i have changed the search term parameter to s (https://pph.addrenhost4.com/search-results/?s=pets)

here i have attaching my search template – download this zip file and see (https://pph.addrenhost4.com/search.zip) or full code below

Your template does things that disable Relevanssi, for no particular purpose. All that extra WP_Query does is to remove all search parameters, making it impossible to filter searches by any method.

This version should work better with Relevanssi: https://gist.github.com/msaari/5a847b0ea5162223d618114e847a0c1f

hi,

regards,
Jay

hi,

i am getting the same issue when i try to integrate the same into the live site.

Live Site: https://www.peterboroughpublichealth.ca/?s=pets

what i did:

1. installed and activated the “Relevanssi – A Better Search” plugin
2. replaced the search template with new template file that you given

It shows the same error that the test website showed, now the test site seems to be working fine.. (https://pph.addrenhost4.com/?s=pets)

Did you build the index? Do you have correct numbers in the Indexing tab of Relevanssi settings? Reasonable words in the “Most common words” list on the Stopwords tab?

If the index is fine, do the first two steps here and report what they do: https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/debugging-relevanssi-searching-issues/
