Hi, can yoi give me documentation about build buddy xprofile search form? which mean xprofile country dropdown, i will have country dropdown in saerch front end. ....
Hi,
If you mean filtering user by profile fields, then it is not possible. Currently only custom post type results can be filtered.

can this be added to the top menu of your website?
Hi,
It depends on the menu. Some menus allow custom shortcodes, and you can use it as a menu item. However, in many cases it has to be added manually via the theme files.

Hi! I don’t realize how to exclude post comments from search…
Hi,
On the General Options -> Sources panel, make sure that the search in comments option is disabled: https://i.imgur.com/KKZN5Zk.png

For range slider, can the slider range set as lowest value and highest value of the custom field?
Hi!
Unfortunately that is not possible. It must be set manually. Great idea though, I have noted this a possible feature.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Please make it in future updates 
The woocommerce’s default price slider can do this, you may take a look as reference. It also applies to search result.
I would like information if possible.
does the front end view split by sectors?
for example I have :
- 1 post called “Hello word!”
- 1 page called “Hello word!”
- 1 other custom post types called “Hello word!”
when I search Hello word! what happen? makes me understand the distinction of post page etc ?
thanks
Hi!
It depends on how you configure it. If all 3 custom post types are selected, it will return all 3 as results, one after another.
If you want to, it is possible to group the results by custom post types using the vertical layout, like on this example. For more info you can check the grouping documentation, as well as experiment with the options on the back-end demo.

Hi are there any updates on Peepso groups?
Hi,
It is work in progress.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Wow that is great, any estimate on the date?
Hi,
Within 2 releases, 1-2 months time.

hello any updates on the groups integration for peepso groups?
Is there a way to bypass the search results appearing underneath the search bar and instead, having the user click search or hit enter, which would then redirect them to a search page with a list of results?
Hi,
You can redirect the results to the results page, and completely turn off the live search feature, if you want to: https://i.imgur.com/JAnuTcy.png

Hello!
I know how to include custom fields within a results template (https://wp-dreams.com/knowledge-base/result-templating/#highlighter_194756) which works great for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) fields…
But what about ACF Options fields? https://advancedcustomfields.com/resources/options-page/ These are “global” custom fields normally called with something like the_field( ‘myFieldName’, ‘option’ ); and I’m just trying to call a basic text field.
(I tried searching for this but CodeCanyon doesn’t allow exact term searching, sadly. Thank you!)
Hi,
I have not tested the options page fields yet to be honest. I am not sure if thos work within ajax context at all. If yes, then the..
the_field( ‘myFieldName’, ‘option’ );
..should return the expected global field value. If not, then it is possible that the global fields ACF feature will only work in non-ajax context – within posts/pages or archives.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Sorry about that, I was calling the wrong field name. Turns out the standard ACF template tag `the_field( ‘myFieldName’, ‘option’ );` works just fine!
Hello, is it possible to use image to filter the results? i would like the user to choose between different photo in order to filter the products. Thank you
Hi,
Unfortunately that is not possible at the moment, I’m sorry.

Hi I wanted to know if this plugin can be dedicated to a portfolio and its categories and sub-categories, with the ability to insert multiple search tags, if you could see a demo thanks
Hi,
I guess the portfolio is a custom post type and the categories to it are custom taxonomy terms – in that case it will work. To add additional search tags, the custom meta box on the post editor screen can be used. It works for any custom post type.
Best regards,

Thank you for purchase
Is it correct that using CSP is impossible with the plugin? The following doesn’t work. Header set Content-Security-Policy “default-src ‘self’; script-src ‘self’ ‘unsafe-inline’; object-src ‘none’;”
Hi!
I am not too familiar with CPS requirements, so I honestly don’t know. I think it depends on what data is returned. I am not sure if HTML/text is allowed to comply with CPS. Maybe some sort of structure is required, or additional headers, I don’t know.

Loving the plugin!
1. On page load the result section is empty and gets populated once I type a search term. But if I remove the word I typed, the results section gets filled with all posts. I’d rather have it act as if I clicked the ‘x’ and go back to showing no posts. Is that possible?
2. I’m using the “Scroll the window to the result list?” setting at Layout Options > Results Behavior which works great when typing a search term. But the problem is that when I click the “Load more posts” button at the bottom (because I’ve enabled it in Results Layout setting) that also causes it to scroll back to top which is confusing.
Hi!
Thank you for your kind words!
1. I think so, by changing the minimum number of characters to trigger the search to 1: https://i.imgur.com/z87IUjj.png That should prevent the trigger whenever the field is empty.
2. Well, this is kind of hard coded, and I don’t think it is preventable without making major changes to the main script file.

Hey, at first when I have purchased your plugin, it worked perfectly. Then I just wanted to exclude some pages, it started slowing doing… Have a look yourself: https://besttowtrucknearme.com/ it su SUPER SLOW, may I know the reason? And what is the fastest way to exclude like 40% of the pages? I tried time frame and it slowed it down big time… Thank you!
Hi!
It depends on how many the 40% is overall. Excluding one-by-one is great for a few pages, but having couple dozends/hundreds is definitely not okay. In that case, having them categorized in some way and then excluding the categories should be much faster.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
But there are no categories in pages… I just excluded pages by date and your search engine is really slow…
Hi,
On my end it is significantly faster than before (1.5-3s response): https://i.imgur.com/qm8nXIX.png
Please keep in mind that the response mostly depends on the server performance and configuration, but there are things you can do to optimize it. I may suggest checking the Performance tuning section of the documentation – Points under section 1 and 2 can make a huge difference.

I want users to be able to click the category they want to search within. I thought I saw that this was an option but I can’t find it in the backend. Could you direct me there?
Hi!
I believe you are looking for the taxonomy term filters? You might be reffering to this example, which has a tutorial available here.

Thanks for the prompt response. Is there a way to customize how the search comes up? I’d like the posts to display in their entirety like a blog category (http://dev10.curlyhost.com/category/appeals/) instead of the way they are now. Where might I customize that?
Also, I want to get rid of the drop down area that takes away the categories at the bottom as I want that drop down to always be there.
http://dev10.curlyhost.com/ – if you want to see what I’m talking about.Also, I’d love to make the category drop down be inline with the search option so that it all fit a little better – is there a setting that I might be missing to make the search not be 100% width and instead do a percentage and have the categories come to the left of it?
Hi,
Under the Theme Options -> Vertical results panel, you can customize the vertical results layout to some extent. If you prefer to redirect the results to the results page, it is also possible.
To hide the settings switch, just make sure to turn off this option.
It is possible to display the search and the settings box side by side using the settings shortcode or the shortcode generator feature. The former can be useful if you have a custom page builder, the latter works without using one.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Oh man, what did I do? http://dev10.curlyhost.com/ – when I click enter it doesn’t show any results anymore? Any idea what setting I might have clicked?
Never mind – it had to do with me not wanting to do the live trigger and apparently if live trigger isn’t on I can’t press enter on the search and have it pull correctly.
Hi, when I put a tag in the search box, proper thumbnails show below it. When I go to the search result page, I get all posts. Can you advice what I need to do to correct this behavior?
Please forget this entry, problem was somewhere else.
I was using Woocommerce Search Engine before this and it had the ability to search and find things misspelled/typos can this be done with this plugin?
Hi,
Unfortunately only a very basic start/end word search test is performed, as this plugin is a database search via ajax – and testing typos/similar words would require re-querying the database over and over, and could increase the server load exponentially. The google autocomplete/keywords suggestion module is enabled by default, it should help a bit.
The other plugin does not use ajax, but the search is performed on the clients machine via javascript on pre-loaded data – so it can can do thse tricks. It has it’s ups and downs, but it is a very, very clever solution.
We are looking to expand the plugin with this functionality, but there are lots of limitations to this technique, combined with the current features (search filters, large amounts of data, advanced logics etc..), that need to be optimized before it gets released.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Loving the lite plugin, I’m curious about buying the pro. Is it possible to sort the search results by custom fields?
Hi!
Thank you for your kind words
Yes, it is possible to set a primary or secondary ordering on the back-end by custom fields – both numeric or as string.
Feel free to try the back-end demo, where you can experiment with the options as well.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Hi there.
I thought I read in an older comment that you were planning to support execution of shortcodes so that their content could be indexed and found. I can’t see any mention of that in your product features. Is that complete, or still upcoming??
Thanks in advance Paul
Hi Paul,
That feature is already available, using the index table engine. I will make sure to update the features list to inlcude that as well.

Hi! We have used the plugin for a search functionality on our client’s website, and the client says it was possible to search the products by SKU before but not now. It does not work at the moment, also there is no setup for this in the backend.
Could you specify whether it is or was possible? And whether this is planned in future releases?
Hi,
It is still possible, I just double checked, but it is working correctly on all of our test servers.
Make sure that the ‘_sku’ custom field is indeed selected for search.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
How can we sort results based on product sales?
Hi,
I am not sure if it is possible, but according to WooCommerce documentation, it stores the sales count in the ‘total_sales’ custom field. So, on the General Options -> Ordering panel, try the ordering by that custom field: https://i.imgur.com/mEgp1q7.png
