Hi @mashakos
If you are using the shortcode, then you can always use the query_by shortcode field. Additionally i’ve found that the plugin was indexing the user nicename.
This will be ammended in the next version of the plugin i.e 1.6.7, a re-index of the posts will be required.
nicename would be preferred for my needs actually. I tried this
query_by="nicename,post_title,post_content"
but it resulted in search not bringing anything up. Any way to get the post author into the query string?

Hi @mashakos,
The latest update 1.6.7 has changed it from user_nicename to dispaly_name,
to check which fields to use you can always go to Typesense > Advanced Tab to see what the field names.
For your purposes this would be “post_author”, and i’ve checked that it works for search.
In addition to that you can always change what the data is being sent for your fields, by using the relevant filters.
In this scenario I would change the post_author field to be exactly what i want, something like the following code.
add_filter( 'cm_typesense_data_before_entry', 'cm_221109_post_author_modification', 10, 4 );
function cm_221109_post_author_modification( $formatted_data, $raw_data, $object_id, $schema_name ) {
if ( $schema_name == 'post' ) {
$formatted_data['post_author'] = get_the_author_meta( 'user_nicename', $raw_data->post_author );
}
return $formatted_data;
}
Thank you so much for the assistance! Including the filter hook code is helpful. Results still dont reflect an emphasis on author but I think my hosting is blocking the full index operation, so I will work on that and resolve it on my end.
