Ajax Search Pro - Live WordPress Search & Filter Plugin 4.27

Added

• Importing search from the Lite version
• Results box width, margin and snap – floating results box can snap to the left, right or center of the search bar, as well as can have a custom width and margins.
• Primary and Secondary ordering fields for user results (including custom fields)

Changed

• Percentage values for isotopic item height is now allowed (it’s relative to the container width, not the container height)
• Custom Field Drop-down filters – now support adding option groups within the drop-down via syntax: ‘__option_group||This is a group’
• Custom Field Drop-down filters – now support multiple values within one option, using the ‘::’ delimiter: ‘value1::value2::value3||Option name’
• Synonyms: Added an option to allow using the synonyms as keywords as well. In case of keyword => (synonym1, synonym2 ..) the words synonym1 and synonym2 .. act as keywords and are synonyms to each other.
• Search override: Visiting the search results page via URL will automatically trigger the override feature with the default filter values, for the selected search instance
• Compact final width – now supports separate tablet and mobile device widths
• Custom icons (magnifier, loading etc..) – color/selection options disabled when active

Fixed

• Accessibility: Search option labels now contain the label text (invisible) to comply with Wave checking tool (previous release had a CSS implemented to prepare this change)
• IOS/Touch devices – clicking on the ‘More results’ button now does not close the results momentarily
• CF/Taxonomy searchable drop-down filter – does no longer trigger the search when entering the search phrase
• Keyword suggestions – Title/Tag/Tax suggestions now properly respect the passed options
• Back-end: Changed the #preview selector to something more specific, to prevent conflicts with some other plugins
• Attachment page URL forced correctly, when chosen
• Vertical results: Hitting up/down keys, no longer prevent the screen scrolling, when the results scrollbar is not visible
• Fixed an array declaration issue in the helpers file, that causes problems with some PHP versions/directives (from [] to array())
• Custom uploaded loading icons now work properly
• Custom field filters – empty custom field values are now properly checked

Fixes

• Tablet item height for isotopic results is now correctly passed
• Redirection to first results on enter key and magnifier events corrected
• Duplication of search instances is now working again
• Autocomplete & Suggestions – Post categories are now possible to use as source
• User results – HTML properly stripped and removed, and description context enabled
• Post Type Filters – correctly memorized when redirecting to the results page
• Minor Typo fixes
• Language files updated

Added

• Separate Mobile, Tablet and Desktop search box width, and isotopic result width/height options
• Results information box – it is now possible to display the phrase entered and the number of results found on top of the results list
• get_asp_result_field($field) & the_asp_result_field($field) functions – Can be used in search.php theme file, within the loop. It returns the search result fields (such as the image, relevance etc..), that are exclusive to Ajax Search Pro.

Changes

• ‘asp_init_search_bar’ event added, triggers when a search bar is initialized
• [multisite] – Search instances are assigned ownership, and only the assigned admin or super admin can access them. (old search instances are assigned to ‘anyone’ in the admins group, super admin can change them)
• PODs – Tested for Custom PODs relation to Post type extensions – searchable via the Index Table
• Back-end UI improvements #1 – some inputs have changed, so that they automatically resize based on the input size.
• Back-end UI improvements #2 – updates to option descriptions & more intuitiveness improvements

Fixes

• String translations for custom field filter values are now registered properly
• Back-end: Options now correctly save when the server has a very low max_input_vars setting (<500) in effect, via a parse_str wrapper
• Isotopic results – better & faster mobile orientation and browser resize event handling during displaying paginated results.
• (ignored, not an issue) Post Format label is now available on the display mode list, under the taxonomy term filters panel
• Search in ‘private’ posts is now only visible for users above editor capabilities
• Theme Loader – Now properly resets some custom stylings
• Custom Field Filters – Multi-select options now have an adjustable logic, just like checkboxes
• The ‘No results’ and ‘Did you mean?’ back-end options now accept HTML tags.
