I have tried disabling plugins 1 by 1 untill all plugins except for searching filter were disabled only to have the same result. I have not tried changing themes. The site is using the theme Salient, which is one of the most popular/commonly used themes from themeforest.com – https://themeforest.net/item/salient-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4363266

Hi Scott

I’ll be jumping back on this today, sorry for the delay.

I’m aware Salient is popular (and use it myself on a few sites) – S&F *should* be working with Salient, however, we still need to eliminate it as a possible point of error – its just we have to tick a bunch of possibilities off the list – and the first things are plugins & theme.

I’ll be looking at this later this afternoon, if you give me the green light I’ll happily test out another theme on staging.

Yup something not working right with S&F + Salient.

I’ve narrowed it down somewhat, when your search term is less than 3 characters you get strange count numbers.. but when your search term is over 3 characters everything is ok :/

Anyway, trying to track down.

Ok nailed it! 🙂

The issue was some new code (I guess new) in Salient that was affecting our count numbers… it was the change_wp_search_size function found in functions.php.

In order to resolve, I just made sure it wasn’t applied to S&F queries by adding the modified function to the child theme:

function change_wp_search_size($query) {
	if ( $query->is_search ) 
	{
		if(!isset($query->query_vars['search_filter_id']))
		{
			$query->query_vars['posts_per_page'] = 12; 
		}
	}

	return $query; 
}

(So you’ll need to add this to your child theme on live)

Hope that helps! I’m looking into a way to fix this permanently within the plugin (and understand why its causing so many issues, it seems like a pretty simple filter to me) but for now you will need to add the code above to any child theme of salient.

Hope that helps

Best
