Relevanssi Live Ajax Search

Description

Relevanssi Live Ajax Search enables ajax live search for your search forms. It won't swamp you with settings, and generally, Relevanssi Live Ajax Search works without any modifications necessary.

If you want to customize it, you have complete control over how it works and what it does. Relevanssi Live Ajax Search displays the search results using templates. You can easily override the default templates from your theme to make the results look the way you want them to look.

Relevanssi Live Ajax Search only provides you with live search results. To get really good results, use Relevanssi Premium or Relevanssi Light. Relevanssi Live Ajax Search automatically uses Relevanssi to power the search results if Relevanssi is installed and active. However, you don't need Relevanssi; Relevanssi Live Ajax Search also works with the default WP search.

Relevanssi Live Ajax Search is a fork of SearchWP Live Ajax Search. It was improved for better Relevanssi compatibility. The widget has also been removed as it was unnecessary and outdated. Relevanssi Live Ajax Search can now take over the Gutenberg core/search search form.

FAQ

Relevanssi Live Ajax Search uses a template loader, making it easy to replace the search results. There is a templates folder in the plugin folder, which includes search-results.php. This file is the template used to output search results. To customize the search results:

Create a folder called relevanssi-live-ajax-search in your theme directory.
Copy the search-results.php file into the new folder.
Relevanssi Live Ajax Search will now use that file to show the results.

If you want to override the default CSS styles, you can remove them this way:

add_filter( 'relevanssi_live_search_base_styles', '__return_false' );

This filter hook removes the base styles that control the live search result position.

wp_dequeue_style( 'relevanssi-live-search' );

This removes the actual search result styles.

It does, Astra search form is just designed in a way that hides the search results. You can find solutions in the plugin documentation. The easiest solution is adding this to your theme functions.php:

add_filter( 'relevanssi_live_search_add_result_div', '__return_false' );

There’s a filter for that! Add this to your theme functions.php or in a code snippet:

add_filter( 'relevanssi_live_search_posts_per_page', function() { return 10; } );

This will show 10 results. You can adjust the number as you wish.

For some reason, the combination of Relevanssi Live Ajax Search, Relevanssi and WPML leads to problems. To solve this problem, use the WP_Query mode of fetching the results. To activate the mode, add this to your theme functions.php:

add_filter( 'relevanssi_live_search_mode', function() { return 'wp_query'; } );

This will make Relevanssi Live Ajax Search use a different method of fetching the results. This method is compatible with WPML. This method uses the search-results-query.php template instead of the default search-results.php template in Relevanssi Live Ajax Search, so take note if you want to customize the template to use the right base template for your customization.
