Adding Your Content Types to Relevanssi\u2019s Search Index<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By default, Relevanssi includes only regular WordPress posts and pages in its search results. To make your custom post types and custom fields searchable, you need to add them to Relevanssi\u2019s index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Including custom posts in the search<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Go to the Indexing options <\/strong>on the Relevanssi Settings <\/strong>page. You will see a table that lists all post types on your site. Use checkboxes to mark all custom post types you want Relevanssi to index.<\/p>\n\n\n Click the Save the options <\/strong>and then Build the index <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n You need the following two steps to include custom fields in the search:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Views offers integration with Relevanssi for post fields<\/strong>, but not for user fields or taxonomies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can add the following kinds of fields to Relevanssi\u2019s index:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is because these types of fields normally include text. Other fields, like checkboxes and radios don’t contain texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When creating or editing a supported custom field with the Types plugin, you will see the Include in search<\/strong> option. Select it and then save the custom field group. Finally, expand the field options again and follow the Text Search settings <\/strong>link beneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n You are taken to the Text Search <\/strong>tab on the Toolset \u2192 Settings <\/strong>page. Your custom field now appears in the list of all \u201cindexable\u201d fields.<\/p>\n\n\n Check the boxes for all the fields you want added to Relevanssi. Copy the list of custom field slugs that appears underneath it, and go to the Settings <\/strong>\u2192 Relevanssi<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to the Indexing options <\/strong>section of the Relevanssi Settings page, and paste the list of custom fields into the Custom fields <\/strong>field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, you can click the button that saves the indexing options and rebuilds the index.<\/p>\n\n\n Your post types and custom fields are now part of the Relevanssi index and are searchable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Relevanssi index and the fields that get registered work sitewide,<\/strong> which means that you cannot register some fields for some searches and other fields for other searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, Views allows you to control other elements in the search, like the post types to include, or whether you want to filter by a taxonomy, date, or author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use the following steps to add a free text search to your custom search:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/toolset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/toolset-marking-your-custom-post-types-as-indexable.png\")
