Search returns all posts when searched for domain name ex. (google.com)

Hi Mikko,

Thanks for the answers.

Search is powered by relevanssi, I only use a custom parameter “shop_search” and a custom WP_Query which I pass to relevanssi to search only specific post types “webshop”. Docs: https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/relevanssi_do_query/

You can also check this in Admin grid when you try to search for posts. This option can be enabled from Relevanssi settings. This can be tested in any WordPress installation.

Yes I use AND search.

My problem was in that I don’t get a result on TOP 1 position which has exactly “google.com” and then after to have every variation of words.
This problem I have fixed by setting “orderby” parameter in WP_Query to value “relevassi”. It now works.

If you can go here again: http://dev.shoptrust.ch/zertifizierte-shoptrust-shops-finden/

1. Try searching “felbo” – you will get 1 result and it will be “felbo.ch”
2. Try searching “felbo.ch” – You will get all the results which contain “ch” (which is every webshop in this project)

Please check the current settings

Hi Mikko,

As I said before: This can be tested in any ADMIN SEARCH (Data grid -> right corner) on any theme, on any post or post type. see

Just one note, Wp Core search works ok. If a I search for example ‘felbo.com’ I get 1 result back.

Here is the code which I use on front only.

<?php 

$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
$sort = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'sort');
$certificate_type = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'certificate_type');
$shop_search = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'shop_search');

$query_args = array(
	'posts_per_page' 	=> 6,
	'post_type' 		=> 'webshop',
	'orderby' 		=> 'title',
	'order'   		=> 'ASC',
	'paged'			=> $paged,
	'meta_query' => array()
	);

if($sort)
{
	$query_args['order'] = $sort;

}else{

	$query_args['orderby'] = 'relevanssi';
	$query_args['order'] = '';
}

if($certificate_type)
{
	$query_args['meta_query'] = array(
		array(
			'key' => 'webshop_certificate',
			'value' => $certificate_type,
			'compare' => '='
			)
		);
}

$query = new WP_Query( $query_args );

if(function_exists('relevanssi_do_query') && $shop_search)
{
	$query->query_vars['s'] = $shop_search;
	$query->query_vars['posts_per_page'] = 6;
	relevanssi_do_query($query);
}
?>

As I said this is acceptable for us now. Relevanssi gets us what we need exactly on 1st place and after he gets variations of [words].
In other words he works like [OR] is enabled, but it is not. [AND] is enabled and [FALLBACK TO OR] is also disabled.

Relevanssi configuration see

Thanks for the help.
Best regards

Hi Mikko,

I have changed the parameter to ‘relevance’.
And set operator: $query->query_vars['operator'] = 'and';

with no luck.

I’ll try to see if something else is affecting my search results, as you say.

In any case
Thank you for the help, and fast response
Best regards
