Search results page, how do I get results to display

I can set the template to appear on search results pages

I can customise the archive element to my needs

It looks like a half built implementation with no way to order the results

I cannot get it working with the Relevanssi plugin which is a shame

Is there a way to get the search results to appear more like how the standard wordpress search results page appears rather than just an archive page?

  Hi,

  The search page template is created with Brizy Builder and you can use all the available elements to build it. Can you please give us more details on what exactly you want to achieve?

  I am able to get the search results page to display however it is limited to archive style posts. I think there should be some form of highlighting of search terms, a reply if search not found and support for additional search plugins which expand on the standard WordPress search like the plugin i mentioned. In the end I got it working in a more basic way with and acf search plugin which allows me to search additional act fields
  Also seeing just the excerpt and not the text area which has been found in the result makes the ui difficult for end user to see why the search result is valid for them

  This is a very very important feature. Is there any plan to implement this? It has passed one year since Ben's  notice and still does not work.

  Hi Andrei,

  I understand your frustration . It is of course on the list, but on the list, we have a lot of things with different priorities. Sorry, at the moment we don't have an ETA for this functionality, to be honest, I don't think that it will be soon, due to the fact that we have other improvements, fixes, and features we have already in the "To-do" and "Next To-do" list and this feature request received a low priority. 

  Best regards, Nelea.

  I agree that this is very important especially for a blog website. Can the prio be moved up?

  Thank you Nelea Stanila!

  You could also send them this message:

  This is a vital function because it is part of the WordPress Core and not an addition to anything. WordPress is a Blog after all that can be customised and used in other ways. Also it has some default search functionality that should be 100% customisable with Brizy. The "Search" feature is one of the most critical features in today's time. It is totally unacceptable for any builder plugin not to have all the areas of the search page customisable or not to show even a message if nothing has been found. 
  
  P.S. Also one of the nicest feature you could add (and should be on your to-do list), is a way to display values from custom fields dynamically wising "#" like the other fields. Ex: #customFieldName

  Is there even a way to have blog search results appear on the page? Because I've been messing with this for a while and there doesn't seem to be.

  Hello to everyone in this thread,
  
  To those of you who want to use Relevanssi for searches, the developer provided me with this solution to add to functions.php:

  add_filter( 'brizy_post_loop_args', function( $args ) {
    $args['relevanssi'] = true;
    return $args;
  } );

  Here's an improved snippit to replace the previous:

  add_filter( 'brizy_post_loop_args', function( $args ) {
    if ( isset( $args['s'] ) ) {
      $args['relevanssi'] = true;
    }
    return $args;
  } );
