Custom Parameter in User Searches

    I have a website that I made a custom search on it… I want to only show products instead of post and anything I just want a products data and meta only. I achieve that but the only issue is the user searches in the backend…

    When a user search in the website it fires up “/?s=KEYWORD&post_type=product”
    That’s fine and cool however when I go to the backend of the site and go to user searches which is the logs of end users who search in the website…. and click some of the keywords there it fires up this “/?s=KEYWORD” only.

    I want to achieve that when I click any keyword in the user searches it must fires “/?s=KEYWORD&post_type=product” to make it consistent. How I can achieve that?

    That’s unfortunately not possible. Relevanssi doesn’t log the search parameters, only the search terms, and thus the user searches list never includes any parameters. The user searches page will always show the searches without any parameters at all, and right now there’s no way to change that without modifying the plugin code so that the searches include the post type parameter.

    Hello @msaari yeah I think of modifying the code… how I can do that? can you guide me which part I can modify it?

    In lib/interface.php, you need to change this line:

    $query_url = $url . '/?s=' . $search_parameter;

    to include the post type parameter, ie. add &post_type=product to the $query_url variable. You also need to be prepared to make this change again every time you update Relevanssi.

    Hi @msaari I may request this feature for your future users? Also, thanks for helping! I will do it… this is to achieve what I need to achieve!

    Yeah, actually. Replace the line with this:

    $query_url = apply_filters( 'relevanssi_user_searches_query_url', $url . '/?s=' . $search_parameter );

    Then you can use the relevanssi_user_searches_query_url filter hook to change the URLs from theme functions.php, and that will be update-proof – I’ll add that filter in the next version.

    So you can do

    add_filter( 'relevanssi_user_searches_query_url', function( $url ) { return $url . '&post_type=product'; } );

    I like it @msaari ! That’s what I’m looking for! That would be less headache and lessen the update task.
