Disable live search function

Hello,

Is it possible to disable the live search function from the search box, and if yes, how can this be done?

Thanks!

Hi also have tried this and it seems to break the Next Prev ajax on the Blocks pagnation. Is there a particular line in the code that should not be commented out?

Hello Catalin,

I was looking here in the forum on this subject since I have had problems of ouverload of CPU with the Search Live.

I tried to apply the suggested configuration in tg_ajax.php, exactly as explained, but after that it break the Next Prev ajax on the Blocks pagnation and the ajax views counter for cached pages, as reported by our colleague ieanea above.

Is there a setting that disables ajax only for Live Search?

Thank you!

I just want to stop ajax live search for pages only.
So let’s be enabled for Posts…and disable for pages.
Thanks

I know this is an old thread, but is there a place to put in a feature request to be able to disable the live search from the Theme Panel. We have several sites which have over 100k posts and the live search thrashes the database. Since it does auto search as you type, it can fire off multiple queries. For instance the query that gets ran is

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS 2h7sq1pIz_posts.ID FROM 2h7sq1pIz_posts WHERE 1=1 AND (((2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%Paint%') OR (2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_excerpt LIKE '%Paint%') OR (2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_content LIKE '%Paint%')) AND ((2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%number%') OR (2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_excerpt LIKE '%number%') OR (2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_content LIKE '%number%')) AND ((2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%game%') OR (2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_excerpt LIKE '%game%') OR (2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_content LIKE '%game%'))) AND 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_type IN ('page', 'post') AND (2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'hidden' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'expired' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'tribe-ea-success' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'tribe-ea-failed' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'tribe-ea-schedule' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'tribe-ea-pending' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'tribe-ea-draft' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_author = 15962 AND 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_status = 'private') ORDER BY (CASE WHEN 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%Paint by number game%' THEN 1 WHEN 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%Paint%' AND 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%number%' AND 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%game%' THEN 2 WHEN 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%Paint%' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%number%' OR 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_title LIKE '%game%' THEN 3 WHEN 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_excerpt LIKE '%Paint by number game%' THEN 4 WHEN 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_content LIKE '%Paint by number game%' THEN 5 ELSE 6 END), 2h7sq1pIz_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

so imagine that query 10+ times but searching for pa pain paint b paint by nu paint by number paint by numbers in the matter of 5 seconds. Then when you account for multiple people searching on the site at the same time, you can see how the queries could add up quick.

I love the feature for smaller sites that we do, but with larger sites, it would be nice to not have to modify the parent theme, which gets overwritten each upgrade, and to simply have a toggle on the Theme Panel.

+1 on providencebusiness’s request. Or, would it be possible to manually modify the on_ajax_search function to only use the last x amount of posts in a live search?
