Swiftype (or any other search plugin) with BeTheme

Hey guys,

So I'm running a site that needs to have search suggestions as one types. There's quite a variety of plugins for this out there (my personal favorite being Swiftype.) The issue I'm running into is that, while I get search suggestions as I type, when I click search anyways (not clicking on one of the suggestions), my search page is simply every page in my site, listed in the order of publication. So my search results aren't useful with the plugin installed.

What I'm curious about on your end is if there's something that BeTheme would be doing to conflict with the base search functionality of Wordpress (which should work just fine w. Swiftype)? If this isn't something you can answer, can you recommend something else that would work in it's place?

Thanks in advance,

  • Hey,

    to be honest, we don't know what might be the problem. All addons that may have impact on such plugins, you can find under Theme options > Addons & Plugins > Addons section. So what we suggest is go to that section and turn off all possible addons to check if one of them is not the culprit. However, if this won't help, we don't know what else might be the reason. We can not recommend any other plugin as well because we did never tested anything similar.

    Thanks!
  • Hi,

    I'm sorry, but I am in the same boat. I find it absolutely mind blowing that you don't have a decent search plugin that works with the theme.

  • me too???
  • We do not find it mind blowing because the wordpress search module works very well.
