Trevor.
Thank you for pointing that out. So now it returns results but not what I’m searching for…https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Amb1T4frR2CqKEfxGEQowU7GOEgkfipz/view
In the Tags, Categories and Taxonomies settings tab, in the Categories and in the Tags fields you have many terms selected. If those are ALL the terms, instead leave the fields empty, as those two lines act as an AND on the filter, where posts will be included ONLY if they have at least one term from BOTH fields.
Is the data you want to search from the textual search box held in the standard WordPress Title and/or editor Content, or in Taxonomies and/or Custom Fields? If the latter, our plugin does not directly allow you to do text searches of individual Post Meta data. The Search & Filter Pro Text Search field uses the standard WordPress search, so looks only in the Post Title and Content. To help you control this better, on the form’s Advanced settings tab you will see 2 settings for Relevanssi.
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 it up and build its index.
Some way down the Relevanssi settings is a single entry setting to support custom fields. Taxonomies are more easily set up.
Note that we do not support any of the formatting options in Relevanssi. We use it to allow you extend what is searched, and what relevance is placed on the content.
