I made have this page results:
hidden link

some of the links here are to PDF files, can you help me understand how i set ONLY these links (the one that goes to pdf file) to open on a new tab?

Hi, I can help with this. It looks like your server is already set up to display PDFs in the browser instead of forcing downloads, so that's good. The next step is to modify the structure of each PDF link tag to use the "target" attribute. Typically target="_blank" is used to signal the browser to open a link in a new tab / window. Here's a basic example of that:

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" target="_blank">File name</a>

If you're using the standard wpv-post-link shortcode to display these links, you can try to replace it with a link tag and the wpv-post-url shortcode:

<a href="[wpv-post-url]" target="_blank">[wpv-post-title]</a>

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

the problem is that the "attachment" link is not editable
it is automatically generated by the Relevanssi – A Better Search — WordPress Plugins

Can you tell me more about how your site is constructed?
- Are you using Toolset Layouts? If so, what Layout is assigned to the Search archive?
- Are you displaying a WordPress Archive on this page? If so, what code is included in the WordPress Archive Loop Output editor? If there is a Content Template for this archive, please copy + paste its code here as well.
