Hello,

I added the Brizy "Search" Element to my global header.  It takes me to a results page that I assume is the standard Wordpress results page with the Neve theme which I can not edit with Brizy Pro.  Is there a way to be taken to a Brizy results page that I create and can edit with Pro?

  Hi Chris,

  Yes; you can create a Brizy Search Template in your WordPress Dashboard under Brizy - Templates. Please use this Display Condition to develop the Search Template. If you would like to include WooCommerce products in your search results, please select 'Product Archive' in place 'Archive'

  

  Once you publish the Search Template, edit it with Brizy and add the global header, a blank clock and the global footer to the page. In the blank block, drag and drop the Brizy 'Archive' element.

  For a broad introduction to creating Brizy Templates, you could look at this tutorial: Creating Dynamic Templates | Brizy WordPress 101 | Lesson 19 If you have more questions, feel free to get back to us.

  Thank you KC.  The problem with this approach is that it doesn't "search" my entire site but only Blog content.  I'm not using Woo Commerce on the site.  Can I use a "Google Search Plugin" or preferably some other search plugin to achieve the results I want...being able to edit the results page with Brizy?

  Hi Chris,

  Your Brizy Search Results page should ideally show results from both pages and blog posts. Please have a look at this video for how Brizy Search Template is expected to work. https://jmp.sh/eOKiIZxh You can use this URL to look at the search function on my test website https://brizytest.online/?s=mollis To determine why your Search Results page does not function as expected, I need to take a look at your project.

  Yes, the Brizy Search Template uses the WordPress default search algorithm to display search results. By installing a WordPress Search plugin, you can enhance your search algorithm. Please review this list of plugins to improve search functionality: https://blog.hubspot.com/website/wordpress-plugins

  Please consider the plugin WP Google Search to use Google search for your website.

  Thank you KC.  I should have mentioned that I have a forum on my site,(Asgaros Forum) which is another plugin.  For some reason, even google isn't indexing and displaying its contents in their search results.  

  I'll look at your list of search plugins.

  Just discovered that the Asgaros Forum has it's own tables and doesn't look like they're searchable by most plugins.
