    I am using the code below in order to display the search query result count:

    <?php echo 'Relevanssi found ' . $wp_query->found_posts . ' hits'; ?>

    It works perfectly! But in front of this message I want to list all the categories within the search result. For example, the user searches for Car.. The result is bringing all posts that have something to do with Car.. Okay

    But hair is not a category, Car wash, Car Cleaning, Car Waxing are categories. So I want to say: We found $wp_query->found_posts results in the category Car Wash, Car Cleaning and Car Waxing.

    How could I achieve this result?

    Thank you for any insights

    Use relevanssi_hits_filter filter hook to go through the posts to pick up all the categories present, store them in a global variable and show that.

    Something like this:

    add_filter('relevanssi_hits_filter', 'relevanssi_read_categories');
    function relevanssi_read_categories($hits) {
        global $relevanssi_search_categories;
        foreach ($hits[0] as $hit) {
        	$cats = get_the_category($hit->ID);
    		foreach ($cats as $cat) {
    			$relevanssi_search_categories[$cat->name] = true;
    		}
        }
    
        $relevanssi_search_categories = array_keys($relevanssi_search_categories);
        sort($relevanssi_search_categories);
        return $hits;
    }

    then on your search results template:

    <?php global $relevanssi_search_categories; echo 'Relevanssi found ' . $wp_query->found_posts . ' hits in categories ' . implode(', ', $relevanssi_search_categories) . '.'; ?>

    Hey Mikko,

    That was exactly what I was looking to do. You nailed it!

    One last question about this… How can I show the categories as links?

    Thank you for taking the time to go over this issue for me.

    Hi Mikko,

    I have just found an issue, when I perform a search that gets no hits, I am getting error messages on top of the page:

    Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/content/01/9753501/html/wp-content/themes/service/functions.php on line 177

    and

    Warning: sort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/content/01/9753501/html/wp-content/themes/service/functions.php on line 178

    Any thoughts?

    Here’s a version that fixes the error message and should provide the links: http://pastebin.com/KKmf5BZP

    That did the trick!
    Thanks of the support

    This is solved!

    This is great code, but how would one integrate custom taxonomies / custom categories. Been trying to modify the snippet above to use get_the_terms but cant figure it out?

    That’s pretty much it. Put the code you currently have in a pastebin and let me take a look at it.

    Below is the code I’m using, more or less im trying to mirror the same process but using get_the_terms. It seem to grab the terms but loses the link resulting in a error or something.

    http://pastebin.com/wwKcypYf

    error given is: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
    reguarding the

    foreach ($terms as $term){

    thanks for any help!

    Wrap the foreach in if (is_array($terms)) { ... } conditional, as get_the_terms() returns false if there are no terms, causing the error you’re getting.

    Otherwise your code seems correct to me.
