Hi,
I have different post types on my website and i wanted to know if it was possible to search in name of post types. For example, i have post types videos, podcasts, articles, courses etc on my website, I would like all the videos to show up if someone searches for ‘videos’. I know it is possible to use the post type checkbox or dropdown menu but I would like it if it works through the search text field as well. Is that possible ?

Thanks!

Hey Lenora

I think this might be possible with Relevanssi plugin. The Relevanssi plugin allows you to search tag and category names, so I think this may be possible too.

We have some integration steps lined out here:

Thanks

No worries, to test things with Relevanssi, just remember that by default Relevanssi works with the main WP search, which in most themes is anything with the ?s=searchterm in the URL.

So when speaking to them, test using default WP search:

yourdomain.com/?s=searchterm

Once this is working, we can integrate with S&F.

Thanks
