supportIs there any way to tell how many times the search has been used and what people are searching? As more posts are added, are they automatically added to the index or does that need to be manually re-indexed every once in a while?
Hi Derek, For search stats we don’t have an out of the box solution yet. It’s possible to do this via google analytics, it’s possible to do this via google analytics but that will require some custom application on your part. The basic idea is we have a search instance global variable. As for posts addition – yes once the initial index is built – post added, deleted, updated is monitored and is accordingly added/updated or removed
One other question… Typesense Cloud said I could organize data for 3 separate sites on a single cluster in different Collections. Would this plugin support that? I don’t see any ways to select a specific Collection within the plugin – does it create it’s own collection it already knows to reference?
I learned you can use it across multiple sites but they need to be different post types. I had to adjust mine a bit (separate post types “doc”, “docs”, “documentation” instead of “doc” on all of my sites). If someone was doing this for “posts” across multiple sites it would not work.
Hi Again @sccr410 Each post type becomes it’s own collection. So posts is post, page is page and so on and so forth. To work with multiple sites what you can do is add a prefix. example_post random_post etc. You can do this by checking out https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-support-for-collection-prefix/ I hope that helps.
