I first started using Swiftype late last year (2015). The user experience offered by SwifType is phenomenal. It makes searching fun and not guesswork.
I started with the regular SwifType Search Engine along with the WordPress plugin from SwifType. While it provided basic functionality, the array of results did not include all potential matches. Digging deeper, I discovered that the WordPress plugin did not index pages that WooCommerce generates on the fly. Examples of these include the Product Category Archives and the Product Tag Archives. In addition, it would also not index the Brands archive either. Any custom taxonomy that was added was not being indexed. When I inquired about this, I was told that any pages that are dynamically generated by WooCommerce, are not indexed.
That explains why certain pages would not show up in the SwifType Search Results box. In a quest to get this working, I approached SwifType for guidance.
With help from SwifType, I added some code that solved the problem. With this code, SwifType indexes the entire site, including all dynamically generated pages. Please do note that you will have to create a new Search Engine in your SwifType account and select it as being “Crawler Based” versus WordPress plugin-based.
Be sure to replace the <unique-code-from-swiftype> with the actual code you are assigned by SwifType. Similarly, replace the <name-of-search-engine> on Line 11 with the actual name of your SwifType Search Engine.
Let me know what you think of this. Did it work? Did it help you? Did it break anything?
