Hi, does it work with https://www.relevanssi.com/ I can’t abandon relevanssi, because native wordpress search doesn’t do the job properly. Please don’t give me “I don’t know” answer. It is a free plugin. You can test it out.
Hi,
The live search uses it’s own engine, but the regular (redirection to the results page) can be used with Relevanssi. In that case however, please note that the search filters will have no effect, as Relevanssi engine will do the actual search.
There is a secondary, index table engine built into the plugin, which uses a similar occurence based index table as Relevanssi, and it can be used with the regular search as well.

Hey, One pre-sale question, is it compatible with Flatsome theme?
Hi!
The plugin was made to work with any theme out there, that follows the theme development guidelines. I am pretty sure that Flatsome is a high quality theme, and should work with the plugin.

Thank you 
can this plugin support high contrast and or accessibility compatibility? such as that offered through wpaccessibility plugin?
Hi,
The front-end is not WCAG compliant as of yet. You can change the design of most of the elements (font sizes, colors etc..), but there may be missing label/element titles or other tags, which may be required for WCAG compatibility.
Recently, I have implemented an ‘Acessibility mode’ switch to the back-end. With that, the plugin switches to a high-contrast mode on the back-end, to make it easier to configure – useful mostly for visually impaired users.

Ok thx.. Yes, that is what im looking for on the frontend.. when choosing the vertical layout and switching to high contrast.. everything is blacked out.. any ideas?
Hi,
That switch is only for the back-end, and it should look something like this when turned on: https://i.imgur.com/0SqxIB3.png If you see something different, le me know.

I am considering purchasing this plugin, but I am trying to find something that includes groups. Is there any room to include groups? Thanks
Hi!
If you mean BBPress groups, then it is possible to search them. Peepso or other groups are not compatible yet.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Hey I should have been more specific. It was peepso groups search I’m looking for.
Your plugin just works amazingly well with peepso, But we would love to see you supporting Peepso Groups too. There are many Peepso Premium bundle users who will look forward to enhance their peepso website with Ajax Search Pro.
We have a great community at Peepso, everyone would love to have this plugin there.
Looking forward for your response 
, Have a great day.
Hi,
Thank you for your kind words, I will try to do my best to include such feature in a future release.

Hi, it’s possible to exclude results by custom fields (ACF) values? Thanks
Hi,
Yes, it is possible to exclude/include results by custom field values. For more details, you can check the Exclude/Include by custom fields documentation.

I heard about your plugin from another Peepso user. I guess it works great, except for groups. I have placed your plugin in my collections for possible purchase. It looks like a fantastic plugin and it would be a really good feature to add Peepso groups support. Thanks.
Hi!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I will definitely consider this as a possible feature in the future.

Is it possible to somehow mitigate double loading of jquery.js by the plugin if it’s already loaded by wordpress or theme? Otherwise there are unnecessary 2 calls which hurt performance.
Hi,
The plugin does not load any other jQuery instance by default, it uses the one that is loaded by WordPress itself during the wp_head() call. Make sure to check if this option is set to minified or non-minified (minified by default): https://i.imgur.com/yR3LCcQ.png
Also make sure, that the jQuery you have is not placed directly into the site header, it should be loaded by wp_enqueue_script() method.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Hi, Ernest. Thanks a lot. Maybe i miss smth., though 2 jquery scripts can be seen in developer tools: 1) jquery.min.js?ver=4.9.1, it’s registered and enqueued in functions.php and its google offloaded version 2) jquery.ajaxsearchpro.min.js?ver= from plugins/ajax-search-pro/js/min/jquery.ajaxsearchpro.min.js?ver= . So i thought maybe the second one is not necessary. What’s interesting is that its minified version takes 32k while non minified 20k
Hi,
The second one (jquery.ajaxsearchpro.min.js) is not jquery itself, but the search plugin jQuery module. jQuery module files are usually named this way jquery.[modulename].[min].js, like jquery.ui.min.js, jquery.cookie.min.js etc..

Can the filter function work on the custom post types on a page, without using the search? I tried to change the filters on frontend, but the results did not change. I’m using Divi + a plugin to display the custom posts.
Hi,
Do you mean changing the content on the site while using the plugin filters? That is unfortunately not possible. The live search/filter results require the plugins own results container.

Ernest Marcinko
Oh 
This does not fit my use case then. I got confused with the demos on your site. Can you please issue a refund?
Hi,
Well, you can file a re-fund request here. We review it within 5 days. I’m not sure about this case, but there is a chance it gets approved.

Ernest Marcinko
Thanks buddy. Would really appreciate it, as the plugin is not of much use to me
Hi. I have a site with multiple taxonomies each with their own categories. Is it possible to choose which taxonomies to filter in the filter options?
Also, is it possible to make multiple instances on the search bar? Example: Page A: has options to filter taxonomy B and B categories
Page B: Has Taxonomy A, B and categories from B and C
Hi,
Yes, you can choose which taxonomy terms to show within the filter. It is also possible to create multiple search shortodes, for example the demo currently has 39 different search bars.
Feel free to try the back-end demo, where you can try the search options as well.
Best regards,

Pre sales question: I am looking to achieve search functionality like in https://www.coworker.com/ . In my case there will be 2 custom post types and 1 custom location taxonomy. When the user starts to search, they should get search results from a pool of both the custom post types and the location taxonomy. Example: if a user searches Delhi, they should get in the ajax search results – Delhi – as location + any custom post type that contains the word Delhi. I will differenciate between the different types of results using icons. Please check the https://www.coworker.com/ site for example. My question is – Is the above mentioned scenario possible? I tried using the free version ajax search lite to gain confidence, but it does not seem to give me results using ajax, I have to press the enter/return key to get results. I tried the setting to trigger search as the user types – but somehow it did not work for me. I want to know if you have a refund policy for the plugin if it does not work.
Hi!
Getting results from both custom post types and taxonomy terms is possible. The icons will need some custom coding for sure, but I believe the results image could be used for that. If you know which images you want to show per result type, I might be able to suggest a minor customization for that.
If the live search didn’t work with the lite version, it is very likely due to a 3rd party script error, or by some sort of conflict. I suggest opening a support ticket on the lite version forums, we will check that for you.
We follow the codecanyon customer refund policy. Meaning, that if there is an issue with the item, which is not caused/related to any other plugin or theme, and cannot be fixed relatively easily, we can issue a refund of course.

Hi,
We are looking to block search from indexing and looking in an archive area. The block would happen by either date (all pages published before Dec 31st 2017 should be ignored) or by specific category if date is not an option. Is this possible?
Thanks, Ryan.
Hi Ryan,
Both should be possible. On the Advanced Options -> Exclude panel you can exclude posts/cpt by date as well as by categories.

Pre-sale question. How does it give or how will you pick the design of results? For example, my plugin is giving 3 types of item views, how to I pick Design A, B or C to appear when using this Search Filter plugin? Thanks
Hi!
The plugin uses it’s own container to display the live results, which is separate from what the theme uses. Currently you can choose from 4 different layouts:Best regards,

My friend suggested me to use ajax search pro . plz help
My quesiton :
Can I create a custom search page Can I get the downloads and column information as a search result .
plz advice
Full site site is done just still getting a headache with the search part as I didn’t work on the search part before.
plz advice. if I am missing any information plz ask.
Hi,
Unfortunately the results page in WordPress is fully controlled handled by the search.php file in your theme directory. Plugins cannot affect that in any ways. For this reason it is not possible yet to make a custom results page.
The search plugin can only override the results, but the display is always handled by the search.php theme file.

Hi Support,
Just logging a bug with the latest version of ASP. These line items are flooding our log:
[09-Feb-2018 04:44:57 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined index: wpml_lang in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-pro/includes/classes/ajax/class-asp-autocomplete.php on line 65

Hopefully this is of interest to you.
Hi,
Thank you very much! We are aware of this minor notice, it will be resolved in the upcoming release.
Thanks again!

hi, there.I just have couple questions to ask before purchasing. 1.can I custom the results showing like show review and rating stars, other taxonomys. 2. can I sort results?
Hi!
- Ratings: Possibly, with a custom code it might be possible. Depends on the rating solution. I only recommend this, if you are experienced with custom coding. Taxonomy terms: Similarly, custom code is required, but there is a knowledge-base article with a working, customizable solution.
- There is a primary and a secondary ordering adjustable on the back-end, but not on the front-end as an option.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
ok, thanks for the help. for point 2 , is there any solution to make sortble for the user in the front-end?
Hi!
Unfortunately not yet. This feature will be available within the next couple of releases.

Hi, {get_values} returns a:1:{i:0;s:7:"grasses";}. I can’t find anywhere in the documentation how you would return values in a useful format (like the label) from ACF. Am I missing something obvious?
Hi!
It is related to an issue with ACF unfortunately. Basically, there is a function called ‘get_field_object’ in ACF, that should return all possible choices to an ACF field. Turns out, it does not always work when out of post context for some reason. So whenever I put the search shortcode into a post content it (mostly) works, in widget areas, headers etc.. it does not. I have researched this issue when this feature was release, without success. I’m going to test a different solution for the upcoming release, which may actually get around this problem. Until then, I recommend manually entering the values.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Thank you for the detailed reply. It would be great to get a solution to this as in many situations it will require a lot of updating of these fields. I look forward to testing any new solution you may have Thanks again, Nik
just noticed that performance of the home page is hugely impacted by using 6 file_get_contents calls by WD_ASP_Search_Shortcode::handle function. Disabling loading not necessary js in settings don’t help. Is there a way to mitigate this performance penalty for home page?
Hi,
Thank you for letting me know, I think that can be actually improved. It should not have too big of an impact, as those calls are made on local files only. However I will test replacing those calls to ‘include’ and ‘require’ functions, it should definitely make a difference, as those also have a cache mechanism. Also, the last 4 of those calls might be possible to merge into 4, reducing it to 3 overall. Thanks again, expect this to be improved in the upcoming release.

Hi there, when i visit the https version of my site the images are not being loaded https. I have enabled https in the general settings of the backend wordpress settings but still the images load as https. Is there something else that needs to be done?
Thanks
Hi,
The plugin requests the images from WordPress and serves them as is. In case you recently switched to https or use a plugin to convert the content to https, it might be possible the WordPress still returns some assets over http.
Try adding this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory (copy from line 3 only!). Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!

Awesome you all are great this worked perfectly!!
Is it not possible to have all results links for each of the grouped results ?
I have products and posts. If I assign the all results links and then take to woocommerce page for the products this works and makes sense, but as for the posts, this creates and error. How can i seperate this so that each grouped type has its own “see all results”underneath the group section ? thank you
Hi,
Unfortunately that is not yet possible. I will take this as a feature request, as it makes sense to have separate links per post type/group type.
