FacetWP Relevanssi integration Setup

When the Relevanssi integration add-on is activated, each search facet will have a new “Relevanssi” choice within its Search engine setting.

Make sure to set your Search facets to using this new “Relevanssi” engine, otherwise they’ll likely return no results (due to Relevanssi short-circuiting core search).

Turning off results snippets

Some users have reported issues with Relevanssi’s custom search results snippets feature.

If your results don’t show, try turning off that feature, as demonstrated below:

Relevanssi limits

Be aware that using Relevanssi may require large amounts (hundreds of MBs) of database space (for a reasonable estimate, multiply the size of your wp_posts database table by three). If your hosting setup has a limited amount of space for database tables, using Relevanssi may cause problems. The following information is from the Relevanssi site:

“The upper limit of how big a site Relevanssi can support depends on your hardware. On shared hosting accounts with limited resources, tens of thousands of posts can be too much. If your hardware is solid, especially your database, there’s probably no upper boundary. The biggest site we’ve heard run Relevanssi without problems had two million posts, using a dedicated database server with SSD drives.

Relevanssi Light is a version of Relevanssi that has fewer features but runs much faster even on weaker hosting. That’s also a good alternative if performance is critical.”
