Term Archive Priority

Current version: 1.2.2 View Changelog

Download available with active license

The Term Archive Priority extension is deprecated
Please use a Taxonomy source instead.

The Term Archive Priority Extension will force taxonomy term archive pages to bubble to the top of search results when a match is found. This allows you to search by taxonomy term and have applicable taxonomy archive pages show up within your search results!

This Extension only applies to supplemental search engines.

Out of the box, all supplemental search engines will apply this change when the plugin is active, but you can filter that down to specific supplemental search engines by doing something like the following:

<?php
function my_maybe_include_term_archive( $include, $engine, $terms ) {
// only have term archives included for supplemental search engine with name 'supplemental'
return ( $engine == 'supplemental' ) ? true : false;
}
add_filter( 'searchwp_term_archive_enabled', 'my_maybe_include_term_archive', 10, 3 );

NOTE: by default, Term Archive Priority supports exact taxonomy term matches. If you would like to enable matching of any word within a taxonomy term, use the following filter:

<?php
add_filter( 'searchwp_tax_term_or_logic', '__return_true' );

Once activated, you will need to customize your search results loop so as to account for term archive pages in the results. This is a full theme template example outlining how to properly implement the Term Archive Priority Extension:

Note: The snippet below is for SearchWP 4, if you are using SearchWP 3 view the legacy template.

<?php
/* Template Name: SearchWP Term Archive Priority Sample */
global $post;
// Retrieve applicable query parameters.
$search_query = isset( $_GET['searchwp'] ) ? sanitize_text_field( $_GET['searchwp'] ) : null;
$search_page = isset( $_GET['swppg'] ) ? absint( $_GET['swppg'] ) : 1;
// Perform the search.
$search_results = [];
$search_pagination = '';
if ( ! empty( $search_query ) && class_exists( '\\SearchWP\\Query' ) ) {
$searchwp_query = new \SearchWP\Query( $search_query, [
'engine' => 'supplemental', // The Engine name.
'fields' => 'all', // Load proper native objects of each result.
'page' => $search_page,
] );
$search_results = $searchwp_query->get_results();
$search_pagination = paginate_links( array(
'format' => '?swppg=%#%',
'current' => $search_page,
'total' => $searchwp_query->max_num_pages,
) );
