By enabling the filters feature and adding a search filter widget to the website’s sidebars (widgetized areas), visitors can refine content and search results by one or more taxonomy terms, meta fields, and date ranges.
Enabling “Filters” in ElasticProbe Plugin
- Log into your WordPress admin area (e.g.,
https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin). - Locate ElasticProbe in your list of installed plugins from the sidebar and click on it.
- Navigate to the Filters And Enable it.
- You can also define how filters behave using the Match Type setting:
Show results that match all selected filters: This setting narrows down results, showing only posts that meet every chosen filter—ideal for drilling into more specific content.
Show results that match any selected filter: This broadens the search, displaying posts that meet at least one of the selected filters, which may increase the total number of results.
- After enabling, continue reading this document for additional configuration steps.
