    Hi Mikko,

    I’ve set Relevanssi to allow some html tags in my custom search result snippets, such as <em>, <strong> and <p>.

    So far so good—except that the search results snippets pick up and show the <hr /> tags inserted in the text of some posts. How can I get Relevanssi to not show them?

    TIA!

    I couldn’t get Relevanssi to show the <hr /> tags I added to my posts, no matter how hard I tried. Can you please show me what the post in question looks like in the database (you can see that from the Relevanssi settings debugging tab)?

    Well, this is weird.

    Anyway. The text on this post comes from a custom field. Which is perfectly searchable, but comes up in searches with a <hr /> tag that is typed into it…

    Just found something.

    In Settings -> Excerpts and Highlights ->Custom excerpts/snippets…

    …if I check the box “Create custom field specific excerpts”, then the <hr /> tags appear in the search results. If I don’t, they don’t show (also the search result snippets look more elegant because the <p> tags are allowed to separate the text into paragraphs).

    So this is solved on my part, at least practically. The tag issue can be investigated further but it’s no longer a bother here.

    (BTW, I love Relevanssi and I’ve recommended it to others. Just so you know. Thanks! =)

    Thanks, that was useful and I can now reproduce and fix the problem.

    Fine, then–I’m marking this as solved.

    Have a great day!
