Index content which is generated by the_content filter

Hello,

I have some content which is generated after post_content by the WordPress filter the_content.
E.g. the following code:
```
function add_content_after_post($content) {
    $content .= "penguin";
}
add_filter('the_content', 'add_content_after_post');
```
But if I search for ‘penguin’ I don’t get any results.

I tried with relevanssi_content_to_index and reindex but I won’t get this to work.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

So, if you add this and rebuild the index, you get no results for “penguin”?
```
add_filter('relevanssi_content_to_index', 'add_content_after_post', 10, 2);
function add_content_after_post($content, $post) {
    $content .= " penguin";
    return $content;
}
```

Hi Mikko,

yes, it works. I’ve just done something wrong with the filter.
Awesome, thank you!

Have a nive weekend.

Hi again,

I have another question. The content indexing is working fine now, but if I want to index content with dots it doesn’t work.

E.g. I implemented
```
add_filter('relevanssi_content_to_index', 'add_content_after_post', 10, 2);
function add_content_after_post($content, $post) {
    $content .= "june.testdata.SQL";
    return $content;
}
```
When I rebuild the index and search for june.testdata.SQL or “june.testdata.SQL” I don’t get any results. How can I make this work?

Relevanssi removes all dots, as they are mostly pointless for searching.

However, searching for june.testdata.SQL should work, as the dots are also removed from the search queries. The code you have here doesn’t have a space before the new content; that’s a likely reason why this is not working. Try with a space and see if that works better.

Yep, it was because of the missing space, thanks.

Ok, now the final problem is: I add the content with a shortcode.

My code (outcommented = what I tried, always with rebuilding the index):
```
//function list_files($atts, $content, $post) {
function list_files($atts, $content) {

   //global $post;

   $atts = shortcode_atts(array('folder' => '', 'target' => ''), $atts);

   $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
   $dir = $upload_dir['basedir'] . '/' . $atts['folder'];
   $output_dir = $upload_dir['baseurl'] . '/' . $atts['folder'];

   $files = is_dir($dir);

   if(!$files) {
      $content .= '<div>Dir not found ' . $output_dir . '</div>';
   }

   else {
      $files = scandir($dir);
      natcasesort($files);

      $content .= '<ul>';

      foreach($files as $file) {
         $content .= '<li><a href="' . $output_dir . '/' . $file . '" target="' . $atts['target'] . '">' . $file . '</a></li>';
      }

      $content .= '</ul>';

      // $content = apply_filters('relevanssi_content_to_index', 'powershell_files');
      // $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
      // $content = apply_filters('relevanssi_content_to_index', $content, 10, 2);
   }
   return $content;
}
add_shortcode('listfiles', 'list_files');
// add_filter('relevanssi_content_to_index', 'list_files', 10, 2);
```
WP Editor: E.g. [listfiles folder=”documentation” target=”_blank”]
Frontend: E.g.
– mai.testdata.SQL
– june.testdata.SQL
– july.testdata.SQL
– …

I want to search for “july.testdata.SQL” but I don’t get this. How can I add the content to index which is created in this shortcode??

Is this printing out the right content in the frontend? If so, it should definitely work with Relevanssi. However, you need to make sure Relevanssi is set to index shortcodes, and you need to rebuild the index. You also need to note that Relevanssi only sees the content of the shortcode as it was when the index for the post in question was last rebuilt.

This was the reason. Now everything is working perfect.
Thank you very much.
