Promoting Keywords

    Is there a way to promote specific pages/posts based on certain keywords? For example, let’s say a user searched for ‘VPN’ and I wanted a specific document to always show up as the top result (similar to ‘Promotions’ on Google Custom Search). Thanks!

    Yes, it’s possible, but you have to write some code to do it, there’s no simple setting you can use.

    The best way to do it would be to use relevanssi_hits_filter filter hook. Something like this:

    add_filter('relevanssi_hits_filter', 'rlv_promote_posts', 10, 2);
function rlv_promote_posts($hits, $query) {
    if (strpos($query, 'vpn') !== false) {
        $new_hits = array();
        $vpn_post = get_post(ID OF THE PROMOTED POST);
        $new_hits[] = $vpn_post;
        foreach ($hits[0] as $hit) {
              if ($hit->ID != $vpn_post->ID) $new_hits[] = $hit;
        }
    }
    return array($new_hits);
}

    This would put the post in $vpn_post on top of the results, if the search terms include word “vpn”. A bit clunky, but if you have only few posts you want to promote on few keywords, this should do the trick.
