Sorry for the multiple post within a short period of time, but I’m experimenting the plug-in and reporting as I go…

Anyway, again the result didn’t show good relevancy. Experimented on two posts. Searched with two words. The post that contains the two words came below the other one which only have one of the words. I had checked and, yes, the latter post only has one of the words. Shouldn’t the former one be on top? Played around with the settings but still didn’t produce relevant results.

By the way, wpSearch plug-in seems to have a new version (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wpsearch/). Of course, it’s lacking in a lot of ways, but the search results seems to be good. Maybe you can use the code again for the search functionality and implement it in yours maybe? Just a suggestion.

Cheers!

I’m sorry… my mistake… but it did came at the top for me. I didn’t notice it because the excerpts snippet were showing the section that doesn’t have the words next to each other, which were higher up in the paragraphs. It would be good to be able to show the sections with the best results, though…

Nevertheless, the site above still provides the same problem when searching…

@kenny:

The search is good… But it seems to take results from every possible pages, including the archive pages(?). There are times when we need to restrict results to posts only, no pages, and it shouldn’t include the archives as well. Am I missing something or is there a way to do that in your plug-in, ie. to exclude pages?

Especially with WP3 where creating custom post type is possible… I am actually encountering a case where I need to restrict results to certain custom post type only. For example, I have ‘News’ and ‘Gallery’ post types. I only want the search to get results from ‘News’ only. Is this possible?

Also, I am creating a multi-language site using qTranslate plugin. Is it possible to search and get results for the currently displayed language only?

I think advanced search options (or filters), such as the above is a ‘real world’ scenario and it would be great if your plug-in support that.

Cheers!

The same thing happens to me as well… two words… ‘AND’ operator… but the ones that have the exact words next to each other don’t appear at the top. And those words don’t even exist in the titles.

And I was experimenting with the above site (https://theorwellprize.co.uk/)… I searched for ‘David Runciman’ and it didn’t even appear in the first page….???

@maorb: with the plugin suggested by Ryan_B, the parameters to use is ‘mk’ instead of ‘meta_key, and ‘mv’ instead of ‘meta_value’

Hi,

I am also looking for the same thing as raonip… How do we add meta box below the publish box and above the category one through coding?

Cheers.

You can either use one of the two codes below:

meta('mf_page_type')

or

echo get_meta('mf_page_type')

There are a number of plug-ins that does this:

Flutter, Magic Fields, More Fields, Pods, etc.

Or to create one manually:

Developing Post Types Plugin with WordPress

At the moment you can use these plug-ins for custom post-type:

Flutter, Magic Fields, More Fields

@kevinlearynet:

Not sure if this works for WP 2.9, but I think it’s a good starting point for reference in regards to custom post type.

Or is it because I’m working locally??

Btw, I’m working locally… Is it maybe this solution doesn’t work locally?

@akaoni:

your suggestion doesn’t seem to do anything for me?

Am I missing something? Is there any other solution?

Cheers.

@akaoni:

So where do I find this php.ini?

Sorry for my naivety…

Thanks.

I am also having the same problem and I found this… I haven’t tried it myself, though…
