Hi, is it possible to redirect to results page after insert any keyword into search field and click “enter”? Hope you can help me… I want to show for example 5 search results in results box and if user click “enter” on keyboard I want to redirect to results page with all results… hope you can help me soon… thanks, andreas
Hi,
Of course, you can change that on the General Options -> Logic & Behaviour panel: Return key & Magnifier icon actions
You can also change the number of live and paged results on the General Options -> Limits panel.

Sorry – I have another question. In the backend on the dashboard. When you are in the Ajax Search Pro options, How can we get the “Search” to be that FAST. It seems like options come up instantly without any hesitation!! Awesome!
Hi,
That is indeed instant, as it does not actually search any database, but it is built to filter the nodes on that specific page via javascript.
I am actually working on a similar instant search based solution for this plugin, but it needs to pre-load information to do the search on the clients browser, and not to cause performance issues at the same time.
To get the best performance, check this documentation: Fine-tuning the search configuration

Thanks for the comments and update on this !!
If my theme is overriding the “search.php” page, then what other options do I have to show the “same” results as the “search bar results” ? ( but not use the default wp search ) ?
Hi!
If there is a custom query there, then the only option is to disable that, I don’t think that’s possible in any other way. The way is should work, is that theme file is only supposed to list the results from the query that WordPress generates during search. There is a special way of detecting that, and do a ‘replacement’. If the search override is activated and the search is conducted via the plugin search bar, then in that case it should work. If however there is separate query there, it will simply ignore the results.

Yes! Got it, thanks. IT works. Now—how to change the “more results” link to a custom page ?
Found it. SOrry ! Great Knowledge base ! – The search ROCKS – ha.
Hi!
There are two possibilities:
1. Use the $taxonomy variable as an array to add multiple taxonomies:
$taxonomy = array('category', 'post_tag');
2. ..or if you need multiple different copies, then change the filter and the function name for each copy (line 4 and 5). I would suffix it with a number, like so:
add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_add_taxonomy_titles1', 10, 1 );
function asp_add_taxonomy_titles1( $results ) {

Great – the second one worked !
Can I customize seo on each filter page? For example, the categories is shirt and the filter is black and white. I want to customize seo metrics of black shirt page and white shirt page. Is it possible? Thanks.
Hi!
The plugin does not affect the page meta, it is simply a shortcode, that you can place to any page. I think you will need a custom SEO plugin for that.

Hi there. Is this compatible with Cornerstone page builder?
Hi,
It should work with any page builder that supports shortcodes/widgets, including Cornerstone.

Hi, can you please explain this message we are getting in the backend of our site, please?
“Ajax Search Pro 4.12.2 notice: The index table has been improved – Re-creating the index is recommended (if you use the index table engine). Otherwise ignore this notice.”
There is absolutely NO instructions/documentation that guides us on how to do this.
Hi,
It is a simple notice, that if you use the Index Table engine, then it is recommended to re-create it. If you don’t know what this refers to, you can ignore the message – as it states.
Index table is an advanced search feature of the plugin (not enabled by default), you can find more information about it in the documentation:Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Okay, so what you’re saying is that this feature should have been executed before setting up the plugin? ” Plugin version 4.5. introduces index table search engine. Index table is used to make the database queries faster and lighter. The index table must be generated before use “
Hi,
Not at all. This feature can be set-up anytime. It means, that it has to be configured/generated before use – as it is not enabled by default.

pre sale question is there option to synonyms words?
Hi,
Unfortunately no, only bypass solutions via custom code:Best regards,

Hello, Is it possible to display the results in two columns? Lets say one side I want to display the results inside category and the other side the posts.
Hi!
Unfortunately that is not possible at the moment.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Are you avaiable for a custom work order for this?
Unfortunately I am not available for custom jobs.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Great plugin! Any way to customize a “custom date field” to output date like mm-dd-yy Right now, I have {titlefield} – {event_date}
And that is outputting the date in wrong format ( this is custom field date, not date on post )
{titlefield} – date(“mm-dd-yy”){event_date}
Hi!
The advanced field is not capable of recognizing if the value is a date type (as it is returned as a string). But, with a custom code this should be possible.
It depends on the exact situation, and how the values are stored, but something like this should do the trick: https://goo.gl/KRPAZW
Add 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!
If you want, you can open a ticket, and I will take a closer look.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Just perfect!
Anyway to do a conditional “icon or badge” on the results?
if ( custom_field = "featured race" )
{
echo '<img />';
}'
Hi!
It should be possible as well. the $r->image holds the URL to the image file, so something like:
$r->image = 'http://url-to-image.com/image.jpg';
should be a possible solution. ..or changing the $r->content to include an image:
$r->content = "<img src="http://url-to-image.com/image.jpg" />".$r->content;
Depends on the exact situation though.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Perfect!
Hi wpdreams,
I need to do search somelike like “https://speakerhub.com/speakers” (check left hand search)
Please advice in this plugin do we get all the options ?
Regards
Hi,
It depends on how these values are stored. If each box is a custom taxonomy or a custom field, then it is possible to use filters for them.

Hi there, I was using the lite versión but updated to pro because I need to search in authors… anyway. The lite version when I press enter in the search box I jumo to the wordpress search results, and that’s what I want to do the Pro version, when I’m in home page it redirects to ?phrase something…. is it possible to get the results page as de Lite version?
Thanks
I need to work like this example: https://ajaxsearchpro.com/vertical-layout/ when you click in the search icon you go to the wordpress search page.
Mine https://javiermartinbalsa.es in the footer, does not work the same, please h elp
Hi,
Make sure that the Magnifier and Click action buttons are configured correctly.
Also, there is a major script blocking error on your site header, as reported by te error console: https://i.imgur.com/AoCaXMz.png I highly recommend fixing that, as it may affect the search script, as well as other scripts as well.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
This is where I want to use the search pro, http://ideasparatuempresa.isobar.es/?phrase=alex%20serrano# Why do I get ?phrase as a value instead of ?s ???
Hi guys, please take a look at the search bar on banner image on this site’s homepage: https://www.learnhowtobecome.org/
Can I pull this off using your plugin?
Hi,
I don’t think that exact layout is possible (drop-down from the search bar itself).

Hey again,
I love your plugin, but still need some help with it:
So when I type in Birm it should show first result “Birmingham”
But this result is only in 8th position:
https://imgur.com/a/SUSLC https://imgur.com/a/2pzUMCould you please help me how can I solve it?
Thanks a lot 
Hi!
That depends on many things, but by default title matches are the most relevant. I suggest opening a ticket, so I can check your configuration – maybe the ordering or the relevance options might be set incorrectly.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Just opened support ticket, thank you!
Hello!
Thank you in advance for the answer. Presale question: we want to create a name search through more than 1 million names we already have. For e.g. let/s say that you want to reserve a name like “company” and first you want to search if the name is available. Your name “company” will than be searched through the 1 mil. existing names we have and if it finds another name identical “company” or similar like “company 123”, company “abc” it will tell you that the name is already taken or matched with the others.
Is it possible to do that search with your plugin?
Hi!
It depends on how these names are stored. If the names are posts in a custom post type or terms in a taxonomy, then it should be possible.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Hello!
Thanks for the reply. We are trying to do something similar to this: https://bit.ly/RWOVj6
Can you tell us if this is possible using posts or terms and your plugin?
Thanks!
Hi,
With posts/terms it should work. But please keep in mind that storing/querying over 1 million records with wordpress will likely require a solid database server.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
I have the lite version loaded and am having issues with all of the results pages have an error. Would this PRO version remedy this issue? If I purchase, how do I install the PRO version without effecting my current settings on the lite version?
Hi,
I don’t think so. If there is some sort of conflict there, or if the error is caused by something else, it will persist. I rather suggest opening a support thread in the free version support forums: https://goo.gl/nLKw6Y

hi I tried to open a tiket but I think there are problems in the registration form, however I bought the plugin to create a search on portfolio categories but it seems not work or better work only the main categories but sub-categories I can not see them and so I can not create research fields I hope I have explained myself
Hi,
There might have been only a temporary issue with the API servers. There have been new tickets opened within the past few hours, it should be okay now.

When might this work for indexing PDF and Word Doc content ?
Is it being planned for an update soon ?
Hi, I have a license for this plugin, and I have a pre purchase question for a new one. Can I have “search within results” somehow? if I’m looking for a vehicule car part, and I star with brand for example, can I search again within the first results? like with a checkbox or something similar? Thanks!
Hi!
Unfortunately this is not possible, not even with minor customizations, I am sorry.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
ok, thanks
New question, I see on Item details page: Newest features in version 4.7.0 (2016.01.16), there’s an item: Backend Options search added. What do you mean by this? I need to be able to search on custom fields I have for products. Can I do this with your plugin?
Hi,
The back-end options search is this feature – to search for options. To search within custom fields, check this documentation: Search custom fields
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Thanks
I am very impressed with the Lite version and couple of questions:-
1. Is there a page on your website that displays a comparison of features between Lite and Pro – if not can you summarise the differences?
2. Do you offer an agency or developer version with unlimited sites use?
Hi!
Thank you for your kind words!
1. The best showcase in my opinion is to check the back-end demo. The main differences in pro vs lite is, that the pro: features creating multiple search instances, searching and returning taxonomy terms, user and attachments as results, creating custom field, taxonomy term, date and post type based filters, an occurrence based index table engine and many more..
2. Unfortunately codecanyon only has single use licenses at the moment for WordPress plugins.
Best regards,
Ernest Marcinko
Many thanks. Shame about the license, I’ll need to liaise with each client as needed then.
I’ll be back!
