Hello, my search results page display only attachment-pages from the medialibrary. When i click on a result it opens a new page where i can download the attachment. It works but i want the user to download the attachment directly from the resultspage. Is that possible?

In theory, yes. Which Display Result Method are you using?

Hello Trevor, shortcode

The results.php template that this method uses is user editable/customizable, see here:

https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/search-results/using-a-shortcode/#Customising_the_Results

It uses HP to render elements/data, and the code is taken form the WordPress Codex. In you case you need to use this:

You need to be using the get_attachment_url, I think. See here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_url

Instead of the permalink. Exactly how to do this you may have to experiment with. The WP Codex will give some examples, as will the WordPress StackExchange.
