Hello WCEU2024! You want more details about the internal, native search? Here are my thoughts and links ...

Hi, WCEU 2024 👋

My plugin for using REGEXP_REPLACE to optimize the search: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ignore-block-name-in-search/

Note

Please check your page builder if the native search still works!

My findings so far:

Working, but sharing the same issue about false positive results:

Enfold, Avada, PageLayer, Beaver Builder, Elementor, Brizy, Divi

Needs configuration:

  • Bricks ("Query Bricks data in search results" must be enabled)

Broken:

  • Breakdance (content is in a custom field called "breakdance_data" which is not searched by default)
  • Nimble (content is in another custom post type)

At least 20 strings are settings! https://gist.github.com/Zodiac1978/1d1bd363d5ba7d1ea68e3ffe352008f1

Stop words are part of translate.wordpress.org and not every locale has configured this correctly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_word

50 times no stop words set, 9 times just copied EN stop words - and there are more https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2022/09/07/word-counting-type-setting-for-locales/
