Changelog (registro delle modifiche)

4.12.2

• Major fix: Stops more problems with ACF custom field indexing.
• Major fix: Fixes a bug in search result caching that caused Relevanssi to make lots of unnecessary database queries.

4.12.1

• Major fix: Stops TypeError crashes from null custom field indexing.

4.12.0

• New feature: New filter hook relevanssi_phrase_queries can be used to add phrase matching queries to support more content types.
• New feature: New filter hook relevanssi_excerpt_gap lets you adjust the first line of excerpt optimization.
• Changed behaviour: The relevanssi_admin_search_element filter hook now gets the post object as the second parameter, rendering the filter hook more useful.
• Changed behaviour: Relevanssi now automatically optimizes excerpt creation in long posts. You can still use relevanssi_optimize_excerpts for further optimization, but it’s probably not necessary.
• Changed behaviour: The relevanssi_tag_before_tokenize filter hook parameters were changed in order to be actually useful and to match what the filter hook is supposed to do.
• Minor fix: In some cases Relevanssi wouldn’t highlight the last word of the title. This is more reliable now.
• Minor fix: Relevanssi will now add the highlight parameter only to search results, and not to other links on the search results page.
• Minor fix: Improved fringe cases in nested taxonomy queries.
• Minor fix: Taxonomy terms in WPML were not indexed correctly. Instead of the post language, the current language was used, so if your admin dashboard is in English, German posts would get English translations of the terms, not German. This is now fixed.
• Minor fix: Excerpt creation is now faster when multiple excerpts are not used.
• Minor fix: The SEO plugin noindex setting did not actually work. That has been fixed now.

4.11.1

• Major fix: The type hinting introduced for some functions turned out to be too strict, causing fatal errors. The type hinting has been relaxed (using nullable types would help, but that’s a PHP 7.4 feature, and we don’t want that).

4.11.0

• New feature: New filter hook relevanssi_rendered_block filters Gutenberg block content after the block has been rendered with render_block().
• New feature: New filter hook relevanssi_log_query can be used to filter the search query before it’s logged. This can be used to log instead the query that includes synonyms (available as a parameter to the filter hook).
• New feature: New filter hook relevanssi_add_all_results can be used to make Relevanssi add a list of all result IDs found to $query->relevanssi_all_results. Just make this hook return true.
• New feature: New filter hook relevanssi_acceptable_hooks can be used to adjust where in WP admin the Relevanssi admin javascripts are enqueued.
• New feature: Support for All-in-One SEO. Posts marked as ‘Robots No Index’ are not indexed by Relevanssi.
• New feature: New setting in advanced indexing settings to control whether Relevanssi respects the SEO plugin ‘noindex’ setting or not.
• Changed behaviour: Type hinting has been added to Relevanssi functions, which may cause errors if the filter functions are sloppy with data types.
• Changed behaviour: relevanssi_the_title() now supports the same parameters as the_title(), so you can just replace the_title() with it and keep everything else the same. The old behaviour is still supported.
• Changed behaviour: Relevanssi no longer logs queries with the added synonyms. You can use the relevanssi_log_query filter hook to return to the previous behaviour of logging the synonyms too. Thanks to Jan Willem Oostendorp.
• Changed behaviour: When using ACF and custom fields indexing set to ‘all’, Relevanssi will no longer index the meta fields (where the content begins with field_).
• Minor fix: The Oxygen compatibility made it impossible to index other custom fields than the Oxygen ct_builder_shortcodes. This has been improved now.
• Minor fix: Old legacy scripts that caused Javascript warnings on admin pages have been removed.
• Minor fix: In some cases, having less than or greater than symbols in PDF content would block that PDF content from being indexed.

4.10.2

• New feature: You can force Relevanssi to be active by setting the query variable relevanssi to true. Thanks to Jan Willem Oostendorp.
• Changed behaviour: Relevanssi has been moved from the_posts filter to posts_pre_query. This change doesn’t do much, but increases performance slightly as WordPress needs to do less useless work, as now the default query is no longer run. Thanks to Jan Willem Oostendorp.
• Minor fix: Highlighting didn’t work properly when highlighting something immediately following a HTML tag.
• Minor fix: You can no longer set the value of minimum word length to less than 1 or higher than 9 from the settings page.
• Minor fix: Importing options broke synonym and stopword settings.
• Minor fix: Improves the Rank Math SEO compatibility to avoid errors in plugin activation.
• Minor fix: WPML search results that included non-post results caused fatal errors and crashes. This fixes the crashing and makes non-post results work better in both WPML and Polylang.

4.10.1

• Major fix: The multilingual stopwords and synonyms were used based on the global language. Now when indexing posts, the post language is used instead of the global language.

4.10.0

• New feature: Relevanssi now supports multilingual synonyms and stopwords. Relevanssi now has a different set of synonyms and stopwords for each language. This feature is compatible with WPML and Polylang.
• New feature: SEO by Rank Math compatibility is added: posts marked as ‘noindex’ with Rank Math are not indexed by Relevanssi.
• Minor fix: With keyword matching set to ‘whole words’ and the ‘expand highlights’ disabled, words that ended with an ‘s’ weren’t highlighted correctly.
• Minor fix: The ‘Post exclusion’ setting didn’t work correctly. It has been fixed.
• Minor fix: It’s now impossible to set negative weights in searching settings. They did not work as expected anyway.
• Minor fix: Relevanssi had an unnecessary index on the doc column in the wp_relevanssi database table. It is now removed to save space. Thanks to Matthew Wang.
• Minor fix: Improved Oxygen Builder support makes sure ct_builder_shortcodes custom field is always indexed.

4.9.1

• Changed behaviour: The relevanssi_excerpt_part filter hook now gets the post ID as a second parameter. The documentation for the filter has been fixed to match actual use: this filter is applied to the excerpt part after the highlighting and the ellipsis have been added.
• Changed behaviour: The relevanssi_index_custom_fields filter hook is no longer used when determining which custom fields are used for phrase searching. If you have a use case where this change matters, please contact us.
• Minor fix: The relevanssi_excerpt filter hook was removed in 4.9.0. It is now restored and behaves the way it did before.
• Minor fix: Avoids undefined variable warnings from the Pretty Links compatibility code.
• Minor fix: The Oxygen Builder compatibility has been improved. Now shortcodes in Oxygen Builder content are expanded, if that setting is enabled in Relevanssi settings.

4.9.0

• New feature: There’s now a “Debugging” tab in the Relevanssi settings, letting you see how the Relevanssi index sees posts. This is familiar to Premium users, but is now available in the free version as well.
• New feature: The SEO Framework plugin is now supported and posts set excluded from the search in SEO Framework settings will be excluded from the index.
• New feature: There’s a new option, “Expand highlights”. Enabling it makes Relevanssi expand partial-word highlights to cover the full word. This is useful when doing partial matching and when using a stemmer.
• New feature: New filter hook relevanssi_excerpt_part allows you to modify the excerpt parts before they are combined together. This doesn’t do much in the free version.
• New feature: Improved compatibility with Oxygen Builder. Relevanssi automatically indexes the Oxygen Builder content and cleans it up. New filter hooks relevanssi_oxygen_section_filters and relevanssi_oxygen_section_content allow easier filtering of Oxygen content to eg. remove unwanted sections.
• Changed behaviour: The “Uncheck this for non-ASCII highlights” option has been removed. Highlights are now done in a slightly different way that should work in all cases, including for example Cyrillic text, thus this option is no longer necessary.
• Minor fix: Fixes phrase searching using non-US alphabet.
• Minor fix: Relevanssi would break admin searching for hierarchical post types. This is now fixed, Relevanssi won’t do that anymore.
• Minor fix: Relevanssi indexing now survives better shortcodes that change the global $post.
• Minor fix: Warnings about missing relevanssi_update_counts function are now removed.
• Minor fix: Paid Membership Pro support now takes notice of the “filter queries” setting.
• Minor fix: OR logic didn’t work correctly when two phrases both had the same word (for example “freedom of speech” and “free speech”). The search would always be an AND search in those cases. That has been fixed.
• Minor fix: Relevanssi no longer blocks the Pretty Links admin page search.
• Minor fix: The “Respect ‘exclude_from_search'” setting did not work if no post type parameter was included in the search parameters.
• Minor fix: The category inclusion and exclusion setting checkboxes on the Searching tab didn’t work. The setting was saved, but the checkboxes wouldn’t appear.
