 * Actually, that’s fine. I just wanted to know if Relevanssi somehow would not -
   allow- post_format in $query->set, as it currently seems to do with post_mime_type.
   That tells me what direction to go down.
   Thanks again.

 * We’re looking into other options for the future. But for whatever reason, we’ve
   actually been getting page results under 2 seconds so we’re happy to keep doing
   what we’re doing for a while. Big thanks to you. 🙂
 * I can ask in another topic if you like, but my follow-up question: Does Relevanssi
   also ignore “post_format”? That is another addition we’d like to make. If so,
   can you add that capability to Relevanssi at some point?
 * Best.

 * Also, to be fair, I’m not sure how the added clause will impact performance. 
   As you know, a lot of query optimisation happens under the hood. I’m just assuming
   that a cleaner ‘looking’ SQL expression will yield a faster result–which may 
   not be true. I’m just planning ahead simple we have over 400,000 records. Thanks
   again.

 * Thanks. For some context, we have a library of thousands of documents, JPGs, 
   DOCS, PDFs, XLS, etc., all with very similar keywords. It is essential that people
   be able obtain subsets by mime type.
   That said, is it possible to pass a variable
   from my ‘master’ search function -into- a ‘relevanssi_where’ function rather 
   than depend on the $REQUEST? I tried using global variables and they don’t seem
   to work.

 * Got it. It’s not super important to us since these numbers are not routinely 
   updated. However, I hope you’ll consider this a feature request for a future 
   version. Cheers.

 * At the risk of breaking a tender moment. 😀
    1. Is there an easy way to determine how much that code snippet will impact (slow
       down) execution?
    2. In the Debugging tab… I’m sorry to be “that guy” but where the heading reads“**
       How does the post look like in the database?**” It would be more natural in 
       English to say “**What does the post look like in the database?**” (Sorry, but
       your program is so meticulous I figured you would want to know even tiny details
       like that. We would. Best.)

 * First… I am -so- sorry for putting you through all this just to learn something
   like this. However, if it’s possible for ‘Free’ users to make requests, I would
   ask that this be a checkbox in the admin.
 * Perhaps we’re different from most users. Our site is a library. The site in question
   has thousands of images that we use/re-use all over the place. The images are
   either ‘free-standing’ or used in posts, but we generally don’t upload an image
   unless it is considered ‘public’. That is why I -assumed- that a post parent 
   was irrelevant. (little joke there.) 😀
 * For us to track which images have been used in Draft posts and which have not
   would be impossible.
 * If there is an easy way for our editors to mark the few attachments we -do- wish
   to keep private as “private” that would be good. I’m sure I can figure a scheme,
   but if you have a built-in Relevanssi function, other than the Exclude List, 
   I’d appreciate it.
 * Thanks again. PS…. FWIW, the reason we use the Free version is that we’re a non-
   profit. We actually operate about a dozen related sites–but it’s not using WordPress
   MultiSite–they’re all on separate accounts. We could afford Relevanssi for -one-
   site but never all of them. So we decided to go ‘Free’ rather than have to maintain
   different versions of code. If there was a way to get a ‘bulk’ license we would
   very much like to know about it. Most vendors don’t seem interested in that, 
   I assume being concerned about piracy, but if that were ever an option, please
   shoot me an email.
 * FWIW, Relevanssi was a gamechanger for us and you’ve done the world some real
   good by offering the Free version. Seriously.

 * …and… when I publish the draft post (the parent of 10557), 10557 is now visible.
 * So, I guess I feel stupid. But… shouldn’t Relevanssi have returned 10557 whether
   the parent was a draft or not?

 * And fwiw, when I go into the database, the post_status column is “inherit”
 * But the post parent (10383) is “draft”. Shouldn’t Relevanssi return the attachment
   whether the parent is a draft or not?

 * I believe you. However, I have switched themes to a default WordPress theme (
   eg. 2017 and 2023) and they also misbehave. So it’s not my theme.
 * Do you have any further suggestions on how to troubleshoot? Could it be FileBird?
   Is there a way to test for plug-ins other than the brute force approach?

 * Oooh, aaaaahhh. 😀 (I never noticed that before.)
 * It returns 4 results–which is 100% correct.

 * The following search returns 3 items. 1 is a ‘Link’ and 2 are media attachments.
   The one I keep asking about is -missing- (10557).
 * [You searched for ray bishop – Sea-Tac Airport Noise And Pollution (seatacnoise.info)](https://seatacnoise.info/?s=ray+bishop)
 * However, if I go into the Admin (Relevanssi is enabled for admin search) I get
   ONE result… 10557.
 * Starting to drive me a little nuts–mainly because I am certain there are other
   occurrences like this.
 * Have you heard of any incompatibilities with FileBird or is that not a likely
   possibility?
