Anything is possible when using the relevanssi_hit_filter filter hook. Simply create a function that removes all child posts from the search results.

Hi
I’ve been unsuccessful writing the filter.
add_filter('relevanssi_modify_wp_query', 'mod_q');
function mod_q($wp_query) {
if (is_search()) {
global $wp_query;
$wp_query->query_vars['post_parent'] = 0;
}
return $wp_query;
}
Could you offer any guidence to simply filter out any child posts from a search.
many thanks
Relevanssi does not care about $wp_query->query_vars[‘post_parent’].
Like I said, relevanssi_hits_filter is your friend here:
add_filter('relevanssi_hits_filter', 'no_kids_allowed');
function no_kids_allowed($hits) {
$all_children_left_behind = array();
foreach ($hits[0] as $post) {
if ($post->post_parent == 0) $all_children_left_behind[] = $post;
}
return $all_children_left_behind;
}

Thanks Mikko –
However, the filter is returning error:
PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in …/relevanssi/lib/search.php on line 918

Fixed: Seems I just needed to return $all_children_left_behind as an array!
add_filter('relevanssi_hits_filter', 'no_kids_allowed');
function no_kids_allowed($hits) {
$all_children_left_behind = array();
foreach ($hits[0] as $post) {
if ($post->post_parent == 0) $all_children_left_behind[] = $post;
}
return array($all_children_left_behind);
}
Many thanks – saved the day!
Ah, yes, sorry about that – the filter does expect the result in an array. Glad you got it sorted out.
