General search function not working

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for the quick response.

I can get it to half work… This search query should yield the response:
“Search Results for: green Brexit, Legatum Institute, Posts”
http://smartthinking.staging.wpengine.com/?sfid=979&_sf_s=green&_sft_category=brexit&_sfm_think_tank=Legatum%20Institute&post_types=post#a

At least that is what I would like it to do. But currently only the category is showing.

This is the markup:

<?php
    global $searchandfilter;
	$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(979)->current_query(); ?>
                    
            
    <h1 class="archive_title"><span><?php _e("Search Results for","wpbootstrap"); ?>:</span> <?php echo esc_attr(get_search_query()); ?>
                        
         <?php              
        $args = array(
            "str" 					=> '%2$s', 
            "delim" 				=> array(", ", " - "), 
            "field_delim"				=> ', ', 
            "show_all_if_empty"			=> false 
        );
        
        echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
            array("_sft_category", "_sft_post_tag", "_sft_sfdc_post_type", "_sft_sfdc_think_tank"), 
            $args
        );
        ?>
        
    </h1>

Have I done something wrong?
Thanks,
Alex

You might need this for what is in the search box:

$search_words=$sf_current_query->get_search_term();

and then echo that. If you search our forum:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/search/sf_current_query/

You will see many different examples of use.

Hi Trevor,

I didn’t quite manage to get that working in the end… but I have a separate question, hopefully more straightforward.

Is there a setting to make the general search look in the tags?
I.e, if I tag a post with ‘digital’, but there is no mention of the word in the title or content, but then if I search for the word ‘digital’ in the general search box, I’d like that post to show.
?

Thanks,
Alex
