reduce # of search instances

Relevanssi by itself never returns a post more than once per search. If you’re seeing the same post many times in the search, something else is interfering with the search.

What kind of custom filters are you using?

Where can I check these?

They’re in your theme functions.php most likely, but if you don’t know about them, you probably haven’t added any.

Have you tried disabling other plugins? Perhaps some plugin is confusing Relevanssi somehow.

Anything special about the post that gets repeated?

Ah, it’s not the same post repeated: it’s different posts, but the title from the first post is repeated for every post.

So what’s in your search results template? Sounds like this might be a problem with the template.

This look correct to you?

/**
* Modify entry title text.
*
* Use Relevanssi function.
*
* @since 0.1.6
* @access public
* @param string $title The existing entry title.
* @return string $title The modified entry title.
*/
add_filter( ‘genesis_post_title_text’, function( $title ) {
if ( is_search() && function_exists( ‘relevanssi_get_the_title’ ) ) {
$title = relevanssi_get_the_title( $post_id );
}
return $title;
});

/**
* Modify entry content output.
*
* @since 0.1.6
* @access public
* @return string.
*/
add_filter( ‘genesis_pre_get_option_content_archive’, function() {
if ( is_search() && function_exists( ‘relevanssi_get_the_title’ ) ) {
return ‘excerpts’;
}
});

No, it’s not correct: you’re using $title = relevanssi_get_the_title( $post_id );, but $post_id is not defined anywhere. Instead of $title = relevanssi_get_the_title( $post_id );, do this:

global $post;
$title = relevanssi_get_the_title( $post->ID );

That did it! Thanks again, Mikko. Incredibly efficient help!

Hope all is well with you. I’ve been on Relevanssi for nearly 10 years now, I think.
