    Hi,

    I have an Elementor website with Dynamic.ooo and CPT.
    I have been trying to set up a simple site search without success. I have followed the documentation, both for DPV2 and for the native elementor widgets. No matter what I do, the results I get for any query I are random and do not match the query.

    Currently, I have disabled all unnecessary plugins on my website and have a search form set to search a CPT and display method set to: Post Type Archive, without ajax and with “Sort Results By relevance?” checked.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks,
    Ina

    Are you following this guidance:

    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/dynamic-content-elementor/

    The page must be a real page in WordPress, and not a library link, so the Results URL in the form must be the real URL for the page (and not the link you provided).

    Hi,

    Thank you. I have corrected accordingly. Opened a wordpress page, added the DPV2 widget and changed the URL in the form to the below:
    http://oddlycinematic.com/search-results/

    Still get the same thing.

    I am sorry, I do not see a search form on the page? You need to add this also to the page. If there is a reason you are not adding it, can you let me know what that is?

    Are you using the Relevanssi plugin? If not, it may help you control the search better. On the form’s Advanced settings tab you will see 2 settings for Relevanssi (one of which is Relevance).

    The documentation for this is here:

    https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/3rd-party/relevanssi/

    You would need to install and activate the free Relevanssi plugin as well.

    Then set Relevanssi up and build its index (make sure it is indexing the desired post types, content, custom fields AND any taxonomy that you want to search).

    I will be out of the office now for half a day.
