• Love this plug-in, I’ve been looking for one that would include tags in search. It works better than most, but some tagged posts, are missing from search results. And they are most recent posts. Not sure what is the cause. thanks!

    Hi!

    I believe your configuration is correct, I see results based on tags. Let’s see if we can make an adjustment here.

    First, let’s make sure that the search in tags is indeed enabled: https://i.imgur.com/9qlzvam.png
    From what I can see it is, but still it’s worth checking.

    Then, the plugin by default sorts the results based on relevance, but in your case this might not be the best option for you. On the General Options -> Ordering panel you can change that. I recommend trying the following configuration: https://i.imgur.com/g58BvgX.png
    On the downside, this will ignore relevance calculations, but any matches will be displayed, and sorted by the latest first. My guess is, that the plugin was matching the expected results by tags, but because of the high number of matches and the relevance ordering, it might have been cut off of the list.

    You can improve the matching even more by enabling exact matching. This makes sure that the search phrase matches as it is typed in, anywhere in the chosen field: https://i.imgur.com/Szyq18M.png
    It’s a matter of preference, but definitely worth trying, to see how it changes the outcome.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi!

    Thanks so much for the quick reply! I’ve tried various configurations as suggested and then some, but no luck yet. Seems the tags will also show in one language but not the other. Unfortunately if it’s cutting off some matches, they are in the most recent posts. I’m still experimenting, hopefully I will figure this out, because otherwise it works really well!

    Hi!

    Additional information, it seems to be a problem on the second language, results that show in english don’t show on the french side. (QTranslate X is the translation plug-in).

    thanks!

    great!
