search results with directorist plugin

Hi,

It seems like you set the wrong URL, the base page is search-result, but you set search_result instead. So the correct one should be:

search-result/?directory_type=general&q={phrase}&in_cat=&address=&cityLat=&cityLng=&phone=&email=&zip=&zip_cityLat=&zip_cityLng=&minimum=14&miles=14

That should do the trick.

All the best,
Ernest

thanx for answering so quickly. I have one more question
When i type two words without finishing the word, I get live results, but when I hit enter I get zero results.
For example I search for a doctor in london and I type ” Doc lond”
I get live results of listings containing these letters but when I hit enter I get zero results

Hi,

It may happen because I guess that the “search-result” is probably not the default wordpress search archive, but a custom, singular page, which I assume is handled via a plugin or module of some sort to display the items?

In that case these can’t be affected by any search plugin unfortuantely, as it’s not the search archive page. To have the same results, it must be the archive page so WordPress can signal the plugin to trigger the override of the search results.

All the best,
Ernest

you believe that even the pro version could not do the job, since it can read from all taxonomies?

I’m afraid it’s not about that, probably no search plugin can do that unfortunately, as it’s a singular page.

If I may suggest a better approach:

• Use the default results page, and customize it to the layout you need
• It is possible to change the results page permalink handle via custom code to anything you want. You could use that to change the base to search-results
• With that you are using the archive page, which now can be used by search plugins, and even Ajax Search Lite can override the results

I hope this helps a bit.

All the best,
Ernest
