    I was about to buy the premium version but just found a strange behavior. It is so sad that the plugin does not filter by category or tag.

    In normal WP search:

    URL/?s=keyword – found 10 posts

    URL/shop/category/books/?s=keyword – found 5 posts
    URL/shop/tag/book/?s=keyword – found 6 posts
    URL/shop/tag/book+car/?s=keyword – found 3 posts

    But when the Relevanssi is active, it founds always 10 posts.

    But the custom fields work though. For example, I have a custom field called price.

    URL/shop/?s=keyword&price=10,50 – found 5 posts. (Only posts that price field between 10-50 with that keyword)

    Is there a way to filter the categories and tags as well?

    Okay, this works:

    URL/?s=keyword&post_type=product&product_cat=ID

    This also works

    URL/?s=keyword&post_type=product&product_tag=ID

    But this does not work:

    URL/?s=keyword&post_type=product&product_cat=ID1+ID2 for example product_cat=5+10

    Changing the operator OR to AND did not help.

    But when the plugin deactivates, this simple URL just works:

    URL/shop/tag/ID1+ID2/?s=keyword

    Relevanssi has full support for taxonomy filtering, but it doesn’t read all possible URL variations.

    Some of these should work. At least these work on my test site:

    /?s=keyword&tag=tag1+tag2
    /?s=keyword&tag=tag1,tag2
    /tag/tag1/?s=keyword
    /tag/tag1+tag2/?s=keyword

    I did test custom taxonomies on my test site, and /taxonomy/tag1+tag2/?s=keyword still worked as expected. I haven’t tried this with WooCommerce, and I don’t know if there’s something unusual on your site, but rest assured, there’s a lot of code in Relevanssi for taxonomy filtering.

    Anyway, you can fix all problems with this using a filter function on the relevanssi_modify_wp_query hook (see instructions here) that reads the query variables and creates a tax_query.

    The function filters the $query object, which should have all the query variables in $query->query_vars. Read them from there, construct a well-formed tax_query array and store it with $query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );.

    Hi Mikko,

    Thank you very much.

    I found a filter on your website and added it to functions.php

    add_filter( 'relevanssi_modify_wp_query', 'rlv_include_product_cat' );
    function rlv_include_product_cat( $query ) {
      if ( isset( $query->query_vars['product_tag'] ) ) {
    	$query->query_vars['tax_query'][] = array(
                'taxonomy' => 'product_tag',
    	    'field'    => 'slug',
    	    'terms'    => $query->query_vars['product_tag'],
    	    'include_children' => false,
               );
    	}
          return $query;
    }

    Now this works:

    URL/?s=keyword – found 10 posts
    URL/shop/tag/book/?s=keyword – found 6 posts

    However, this does not work
    URL/shop/tag/book+car/?s=keyword – found 10 posts (without the plugin found 3 posts)

    I tried ‘operator’ => ‘AND’, but did not help.

    Hi Mikko,

    Yes, when deactivating the woocommerce, it filters as tag1+tag2. (posts)

    But I need to use woocommerce for my products.

    When you are using multiple values in terms, the value should be an array. Using explode( '+', $query->query_vars['product_tag'] ) instead of just $query->query_vars['product_tag'] should help.

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help.

    And also need to add 'operator' => 'AND',

    Here is the full code for the product tag:

    add_filter( 'relevanssi_modify_wp_query', 'rlv_include_product_cat' );
    function rlv_include_product_cat( $query ) {
      if ( isset( $query->query_vars['product_tag'] ) ) {
    	$query->query_vars['tax_query'][] = array(
             'taxonomy' => 'product_tag',
    	    'field'    => 'slug',
    	    'terms'    => explode( '+', $query->query_vars['product_tag'] ),
    	    'include_children' => false,
            'operator' => 'AND',
               );
    	}
          return $query;
    }
