    hi,
    i wanna use wordpress internal search engine if relevenssi return no result,but i couldn’t figure it out.
    can you please shed some light on it? and where i can resolve this?
    my main problem is relevanssi cannot find some search terms like ‘k-on’ but wordpress search engine can, so i wanna use it when relevanssi return nothing.

    Why not make Relevanssi find those search terms instead? Just add this code to your theme functions.php and reindex the database:

    add_filter('relevanssi_remove_punctuation', 'rlv_fix_the_problem', 9);
function rlv_fix_the_problem($a) {
    $a = str_replace('-', '', $a);
    return $a;
}

    Well, you can’t have everything… but you can try this:

    add_filter('relevanssi_remove_punctuation', 'rlv_fix_the_problem', 9);
function rlv_fix_the_problem($a) {
    if (strlen($a) <= 5) {
        $a = str_replace('-', '', $a);
    }
    else {
        $a = str_replace('-', ' ', $a);
    }
    return $a;
}

    Now if the word is less than six characters long, hyphens are removed, otherwise they are replaced with spaces. So, “k-on” becomes “kon”, while “aki-sora” becomes “aki sora”. That might work better.
