Search

Hi

You can use this custom code in the functions.php file of the active theme folder, its better to use a child theme for this.

/**
 * Search with taxonomy
 */
 
add_filter('atbdp_listing_search_query_argument', 'new_custom_directorist_updated_args_for_searchbar');
 
 
function new_custom_directorist_updated_args_for_searchbar($args)
{
    if (isset($_GET['q']) && !empty($_GET['q'])) :
        $post_per_page = $args['posts_per_page'];
        $args['posts_per_page'] = -1;
        $args1 = $args;
        $args1['fields'] = 'ids';
        $post_args1 = new WP_Query($args1);
        $posts1 = !empty($post_args1->have_posts()) ? $post_args1->posts : [];
        unset($args['s']);
        $args2 = $args;
        $catIds = get_terms([
            'name__like' => $_GET['q'],
            'fields' => 'ids',
            'taxonomy' => ATBDP_CATEGORY,
            'hide_empty' => false
        ]);
 
        $locIds = get_terms([
            'name__like' => $_GET['q'],
            'fields' => 'ids',
            'taxonomy' => ATBDP_LOCATION,
            'hide_empty' => false
        ]);
 
        $tagIds = get_terms([
            'name__like' => $_GET['q'],
            'fields' => 'ids',
            'taxonomy' => ATBDP_TAGS,
            'hide_empty' => false
        ]);
 
        $args2['tax_query'] = array(
            'relation' => 'OR',
            array(
                'taxonomy' => ATBDP_CATEGORY,
                'field'    => 'id',
                'terms'    => $catIds,
                'include_children' => 1
            ),
            array(
                'taxonomy' => ATBDP_LOCATION,
                'field'    => 'id',
                'terms'    => $locIds,
                'include_children' => 1
            ),
 
            array(
                'taxonomy' => ATBDP_TAGS,
                'field'    => 'id',
                'terms'    => $tagIds,
            ),
        );
 
        $args2['fields'] = 'ids';
        $post_args2 = new WP_Query($args2);
        $posts2 = !empty($post_args2->have_posts()) ? $post_args2->posts : [];
        $all_ids = array_merge($posts2, $posts1);
 
        if (!empty($all_ids)) {
            $args['post__in'] = $all_ids;
        } else {
            $args['s'] = $_GET['q'];
        }
 
        $args['posts_per_page'] = $post_per_page;
    endif;
    return $args;
}
