AJAX search does not work properly

Hello,

Yes, it is indeed a strange problem.

Please tell me – are you using any custom code snippets to customize plugin search results output?

Also – can you show me screenshots of the plugin settings page?

Regards

Yeah you are right, the problem is a conflict with the snippet. I have a product type ‘discontinued’ in my store and I used this snippet to exclude products with this status from the search results. The problem is that for normal search it works fine, but in ajax search it causes problems. Could you please tell me which snippet I can use to exclude items with discontinued status from ajax search results?

I have enabled logging and I see that the states are detected correctly (for normal search).
[08-Oct-2024 14:53:42 UTC] Product ID: 4619 has status: instock
[08-Oct-2024 14:53:42 UTC] Product ID: 1620 has status: outofstock
[08-Oct-2024 14:53:42 UTC] Product ID: 1603 has status: discontinued
[08-Oct-2024 14:53:42 UTC] Number of products after filtering: 2

Problem snippet:

//Hide item with Discontinued status from aws search
add_filter( 'aws_search_results_products', 'aws_search_results_products', 10, 2 );
function aws_search_results_products( $products, $s ) {
    $filtered_products = array();

    foreach ( $products as $product ) {
        $product_id = $product['id'];
        $product_status = wc_get_product( $product_id )->get_stock_status();

        if ( 'discontinued' !== $product_status ) {
            $filtered_products[] = $product;
        }
    }

    return $filtered_products;
}

Thank you,

I see. Please try to use this code snippet instead:

add_filter( 'aws_search_results_products_ids', 'aws_search_results_products_ids', 10, 2 );
function aws_search_results_products_ids( $products, $s ) {
    $filtered_products = array();
    foreach ( $products as $product_id ) {
        $product_status = wc_get_product( $product_id )->get_stock_status();
        if ( 'discontinued' !== $product_status ) {
            $filtered_products[] = $product_id;
        }
    }
    return $filtered_products;
}

Unfortunately the result is the same. It doesn’t work for ajax search (Search result – nothing found), but it works for normal search.

So did you remove your previous code snippet?

Also – do you see any errors inside your debug.log file?

So did you remove your previous code snippet? – Of course

Also – do you see any errors inside your debug.log file? I added lines in config.php + reindexed the tables, but the debug.log code didn’t show up.

define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

I can give you access to the staging site if it is convenient for you.

Sorry, it is not allowed on this forum.

So with this updated snippet work fine for search page and not working only for ajax? Do you have any other code snippets except this one?

The updated snippet works the same as my initial snippet (ok for normal search, but doesn’t work for ajax search).

No, all the other snippets are not related to this problem (I removed them too for the test).

I’ve solved the problem.

I cleaned the whole site from all codes/plugins, installed the twenty-two theme, but the search bug didn’t go away. Also the usual snippet to exclude a product by ID did not work.

After that I removed from search source and search table all the unnecessary data (SKU, tag, ID, short description) and everything worked.

Well, that’s strange if that unnecessary data removal helps you. Data from the index table is not correlated with your code snippet for filtering search results. But I am glad that you were able to solve the problem.

I realize that there shouldn’t have been a connection here. Nevertheless, this solution helped on the live site too ??
