# Extra Search Results

 * Hi,
 * Searching used to yield the correct results. However, at some point over the 
   last few months, it began including extra items with no direct relevance to the
   search content.
 * For example, searching Paterson finds Paterson songs but also some other things
   that are irrelevant. The search seems to be going off of subpage content to link
   things that are different such as songs from different authors but in the same
   album, though it hasn’t worked this way before.
 * Admin search has the same results. The theme is Twenty Twenty-One which is overridden
   by Oxygen. Nothing has changed with the site except updating plugins and WordPress
   itself. The settings have not been touched.
 * Is there anything relatively recent with the plugin or WordPress that might explain
   this change in behavior? Any suggestions on what I could try to correct this?
 * Thanks

   to see the link]_

 * How is the data organised? For example, the song “The Stockman’s Last Bed”, how
   is it related to the album “Rovers, Stockmen and Bullockies”?
 * Please enable the Relevanssi debugging mode from the Relevanssi debugging settings,
   I’ll see how Relevanssi sees that post.

 * Debugging mode is enabled. I did not design the site, but songs and albums seem
   to be paired using custom post types.
 * I appreciate the help, Mikko.

 * Relevanssi is set to index all custom fields. The word “paterson” appears in 
   the meta description, which is stored in the hidden `_seopress_analysis_data`
   custom field.
 * You can switch Relevanssi to index only visible custom fields. This will remove
   the unrelevant results, once you reindex.

 * That did the trick. Thanks a lot, Mikko!
