I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.

– search is very slow after changing parameters of Ivory Search. Do I have to wait for indexing or something else?

Currently, the plugin does not use indexing but uses WordPress default search functionality.

I have searched on your shared page and it is working fast for me.

Does it work slow for any specific search term?

Could you please test it on a different browser and without logging into the site.

– I checked “Exclude Woocommerce out-of-stock products from search”,but products do show up. Can this belong to the checked box “include PDF search” when the search term is in the pdf that is inside a private and out-of-stock-marked product?

Could you please share the out of stock product URL from your site so that I can troubleshoot it?

– Unfortunately, only products but no posts are displayed after searching (posts are not excluded in search / double checked)

Please make sure that you have selected the “Post” in the plugin Post Types option as described on the below page.

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

Your shared staging site is password protected so it is not accessible.

The search is working fine for me on your live site on the below page.

Please advise.

To achieve this, you have to configure the search form to display content excerpts in the search results and add excerpt text in the Excerpt field of that page which will be displayed in the search results.

Please try just changing your shared CSS code as following.

#contents .is-search-form label {
width: 90%;
}
#contents .is-search-form input.is-search-input {
width: 100%; 
}

Thank you for the explanation. I tried doing this but when inserting the new created shortcode, it disappeared from the page and I am not sure why. If I put back the ‘default’ search it works fine, but any new search form I insert does not work.

You can see here, I put two search forms but only the default one shows.

Please make sure that the Video search form having ID 894896 exists and try resetting that search form by clicking on the Reset button.
