    Hello,

    We are using S&F on a multisite. We use a S&F form for searching the website we are on. But we also made a function to switch to multisite search (standard WP search with Relevanssi for searching other subsites in the multisite). We use both search functions on the same page.

    S&F search:
    https://tvgg.nl/zoeken/?_sf_s=ouderen

    Multisite search:
    https://tvgg.nl/zoeken/?search_mode=multisite&s=ouderen

    The problem with the multisite search is that it still only shows results from the current website. And I guess that is because there is still something from S&F active.

    When I pass the sfid query variable as 0, it shows the results.

    https://tvgg.nl/zoeken/?search_mode=multisite&s=ouderen&sfid=0

    But then the pagination isn’t working properly. I would like to remove the S&F stuff from the query when using multisite search, in a way the pagination still works. How can I achieve that?

    Search and Filter does not, at the point the user makes a ‘search’, actually search the site tables. Instead, it searches its own cache table, finds the matching post IDs, and asks the site to deliver those posts as results.

    As the S&F cache table is a cache of only the terms from the current site posts and post meta tables, a multisite search will not work.

    Hi Trevor,

    I understand that S&F doesn’t do multisite search. Therefore we made a separate search function, which is at the same page. The problem is, that this page still thinks it should use the S&F form/results.

    Is there a way to disconnect the S&F from the query/results before the query has run?

    Not if you are using the As an Archive display results method, no. If you want to override our filter on the page, you could apply the query not using the wp_query() function but instead using pre_get_posts(). That would likely override anything that our plugin is doing.

    For the search page, we are using it as an archive.

    I’ve tried to remove the sfid value from the query with pre_get_posts. It removes the value, but the S&F functionality is still there it seems.

    I’ve also tried to do this:

    remove_action('parse_request', 'archive_query_init', 10 );

    But no luck there..

    You won’t be able to remove our query, only add yours after ours.

    But: how is it possible when I apply sfid=0, the results do show results from other subsites? It seems that (somehow) it is possible to override your query by just removing/disabling the sfid..

    Hi Kevin

    I’m trying to have a look at this for you but it seems your example URLs are not showing anything (404) ?

    I think what you are trying to should be possible, its a matter of removing the hooks at the right time.

    Thanks

    Hi Ross,

    You might have been looking when I was testing some stuff. Are the URLs working for you now?

    I’m not quite sure which hooks I should remove at what moment. Could you help me out with that?
