Ajax search results are different then regular search results

[dolphspeed99]

Hi,

I noticed a problem and I was hoping that it will be fixed in the next update, but it seems that the problem is still there. If I search for something with Ajax search I get a set of results (bad results), but if I search the exact same thing using the regular search, then the results are right. Why are the search results different? They should be exactly the same.

I know Ajax search is also set up to search in groups, but I am strictly talking about articles, not groups.

Example: http://www.machomen.ro
If I type “care sunt cele mai bune proteine” and I wait for 1-2 seconds, the Ajax Search displays there top 3 results under “Articles”:
– 6 idei de mese post-antrenament
– Cum să devii un ciclist mai bun
– 20 de superalimente esențiale oricărui bărbat

But if I hit enter, or if I click “See all articles” in the box that displays the Ajax search results, the search results are these:
– Care sunt cele mai bune proteine?
– Cum să devii un ciclist mai bun
– Cele mai mari 10 mituri despre culturism

As you can see, only the second result is the same in both situations. And it is very strange, because I looked for an exact article name, the one that is shown first in regular search, but the article is not showed at all when using Ajax search.

Can you please help me fix this? It’s a huge UX problem.

Thank you!

It appears the search results are not displaying be relevancy. Its displaying by date; newest first. As you can see when you hit enter, there are more than 4 results. Because of this, it appears the ajax search is displaying 4 of the newest posts. I’ll take a look at it.

Can you try this? Go to /kleo/lib/theme-functions.php and change the following (around line 632)

from this

COPY CODE

'suppress_filters' => false,

to this

COPY CODE

'suppress_filters' => true,

Let me know what happens

The devs came up with this fix. Go to /kleo/lib and rename theme-functions.php to theme-functions-old.php. Then copy the attached file to /kleo/lib. Make sure you change .txt to .php. Let me know if it works.

It seems to work just fine now, thank you. Will this fix be included in the next theme update?

[sharmstr]

yes. that’s why I gave you the file instead of having you add something to your child theme
