    Hi Mikko,

    I’m using polylang in combinaison with Relevanssi (search plugin).

    On default language (FR), Polylang permalink is set up to return the homepage url without the language directory. So, as I search in default language : the url return http:\\my-website\?s=mysearch and the result are shown.

    When I search in another language than the default one (for example english) : the url http:\\my-website\en\?s=mysearch return no result.
    Because \en\ is added, the search form failed.

    If I set up the language directory to show in permalink even for the default language, the url http:\\my-website\fr\?s=mysearch return no result.
    If I change the polylang parameter “url modification” : no changes
    If I change the permalink from “postname” to “default” : no changes
    If I change the revelanssi option “Limit results to current language” from yes to no : no changes

    If I desactivate Revelanssi, default wp search works in both language.
    If I desactivate Polylang, Revelanssi works.

    I’ve been searching the polylang support, the revelanssi support, the web, for days now. All I can find is old conversation for more than 1 year telling “the problem is fixed”. Apparently, not…

    So what can I do to make this two wonderfull plugin works together ?
    Seems that is “just” a permalink problem…

    My configuration :
    WP 4.2.2, homepage is a static page
    Polylang v 1.7.6
    – with 2 languages FR/NL, FR is default one,
    – “url modification” = “directory name in permalink” -> http:\\my-website\en\
    – default language returns the homepage permalink without language directory
    Relevanssi Version 3.4.2
    – default settings
    – Limit results to current language: yes (but if I change this, the problem is the same)

    The search form is called in the header.php with
    <?php get_search_form();?>
    and the result are shown via search.php.

    Could I possibly get access to your site so I could debug this? I can’t really say anything without seeing how it works, but I don’t have the time to set up a testing environment.

    Problem somewhat solved. The Relevanssi Polylang setting does nothing, because Polylang settings are not correctly set up. The language-based searches return no results, because the posts don’t have the language taxonomy set.

    Dear Mikko, thank you very much for your time and your correct answer.

    For other users, here’s more details.
    =====================================
    My search was restricted to custom post type (no page, no post in the index search). I didn’t set polylang to be active on this custom post type (cpt) because I didn’t need to (my clients needs force me to set one cpt per language).

    As I didn’t activate polylang, the pll_is_translated_post_type() function returns “false” causing the serach to fail.

    So :
    1) activate polylang to the cpt, you want to be indexed for search
    2) set your cpt to a language

    And it works !
