Search results
-
Hi,
on this site I’m working on, it seems that the search results are not accurate:
acastelletti.demetriomancini.it
The words in red under the thumbnails represent the Project Description for Thumbnail.
If I search for "cantina," I get 15 projects with the description "Cantina dei Colli Ripani."
However, if I search for "colli" or "ripani," only 2 or 1 projects are displayed.
If I search for "spiriti" I get no results, even though there are 2 projects that contain that word in their title or description.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
FEATURE REQUEST: It would be great if the arrows for navigating between projects would scroll only through the filtered ones
Thanks in advance

hey, I ran into this issue lately too, the search results only really find the project's title or project's tags but I found a workaround if for example you have a project titled:
"north atlantic ocean"
you would put in the tags separated by commas:
"north, atlantic, ocean"
and this way the search result will find your project if you typed in just "atlantic" or "ocean". You could also add more tags that are related to your project but isn't the actual title like, "water" or "waves". Perhaps these words could be from your project description.
Unsure that the search function can show search results from full project descriptions but if you add lots of individual tags to the project the search function will find your project in more ways than just the first word or typing the full project title.
Basically just add lots of individual words as tags, but I think if you add too many it can break the Project Thumbnail Grid Filter system if you were using it.
Hope that helps a little,
Cheers.

Hi, thanks for your suggestion.
I’ve separated the words with commas in some of the project descriptions, like this: “Cantina, dei, Colli, Ripani”.
However, they still don’t appear in the search results as expected :(
It seems the search doesn’t only consider the first word, since there are two projects with the description "Tenuta Cocci Grifoni" that show up for "tenuta" and "cocci," but not for "grifoni".

@dmncn No problem, I think the search results only find the project title and project tags. I don't think it finds words from the project description.
Try adding these, “Cantina, dei, Colli, Ripani” as individual tags and see how that works for you.

what do u mean filtered ones?
-
Hi Armin,
what I mean is that if I filter the projects by category, for example Cinema, and then enter one of them, I would like to navigate only through the 10 filtered results, while it currently scrolls through all 75 projects.
The same applies if the projects are filtered by tag or keyword search.

ok in lay options, make sure this is active:
"next previous navigate through"

hey there, so lets look at the endpoint that contains the text lay theme searches for:
