This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The get_search_query() function was returning an empty string when used inside a Toolset View, causing the Relevanssi relevanssi_didyoumean() function to fail. The issue occurred because Toolset custom search does not use WordPress’s default ?s= parameter, so get_search_query() had no value to read.
Solution:
Instead of using get_search_query(), the Relevanssi function was modified to use the Toolset View’s search URL parameter. By passing the View’s actual search parameter value to relevanssi_didyoumean(), the “Did you mean” functionality worked correctly inside the View’s “No items found” section.

1) Tell us what you are trying to do?
- I am trying to use Relevanssi "did you mean" shortcode in the view when no results are found.
However, it didn't work, which made me contact Relevanssi support. We found that while Relevanssi relevanssi_didyoumean() function exists the get_search_query() returns nothing.
That's where Relevanssi support suggested to check with you guys whether you have any advice and/or ideas to make things work.
Here is the shortcode returing empty string
add_shortcode( 'rlv_didyoumean', function() {
$didyoumean = '';
if ( function_exists( 'relevanssi_didyoumean' ) ) {
$didyoumean = "<p>Search query is "" . get_search_query( false ) . ""</p>";
$didyoumean .= relevanssi_didyoumean(
get_search_query( false ),
'<p>Did you mean: ',
'</p>',
5,
false
);
}
return $didyoumean;
} );
2) Is there any documentation that you are following?
- regular documentation to register and use the shortcode within the Toolset view.
3) Is there a similar example that we can see?
- I couldn't find any
4) What is the link to your site?
