    I’ve got a database of connections that are musicians. None of my connections listings show up when I search the site using the Relevansi plugin. I’ve fully indexed the site, but there it seems to be missing the Connections content.
    Any suggestions?

    @ Glen

    The core WP search which is what Relevansi indexes is for WordPress posts (including custom post types [CPT]) and pages only.

    It is not possible to integrate with the core WordPress search because it is highly optimized for only searching WP pages/posts or Custom Post Types (CPT) if they are registered for search.

    Connections does not use CPT for its data because the db schema for CPT’s are optimized for post like data only. Connections uses a db schema optimized for directory content for performance and scalability. You’ll find that much larger plugins such as WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads have moved or are moving away from using CPT’s because using them are too inefficient for the custom data schema’s they require.

    If you want search, you need one of the premium templates. If you want to have a search input on your home page, use the Search Widget which comes as part of the Widget Pack. You can place this widget in your theme’s sidebar so it shows up everywhere.

    Hope that helps!

    Okay, so my workaround solution will be to make a post with a text list and hyperlinks to each directory listing. At least that way the search tool will find the directory item.
    Thanks,
    Glen
