I’ve created a Search results page. The results appear fine on the left, but I’d also like to separately include the x most current posts on the right column of the same page.
I’ve tried a couple of ways, but they just bring up articles that match the same search term.
I don’t think I’ve been clear enough - I’ll give it another go to try and explain it better
The main search results come back fine (as you say, their order dictated by Wordpress).
On the same page I have a widget to show the latest posts on the site - it’s this that is incorrectly showing the latest x posts that match the search criteria, not the latest x posts on the site as you’d expect (irrespective of any search criteria).
Hmmm, I tried to recreate this on a Try site.
Out of the box I got the same issue. I see the same posts as the Results selection.
I was thinking that the CSS ID or query id might need changing but when I went back to the page it is trashed! I’ve lost the entries I’d made, a lot of styling and now the Structure panel shows nothing at all. I am unable to edit the one remaining entry on the page ( a Heading ). So far it is not recovering so can’t help - sorry.
Hi @flimflam .
Maybe you can try this:
Create a section template with desired content. Use that template with the Template element on the Search results page.
Good approach, but unfortunately the result is the same @tole011
The query_vars are shared between the search results and the other posts element, no matter what you set in the query settings of both post elements.

I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature request… but generally speaking it should be possible to show other posts on the search results page in additon to the search results.
I’ve tried it on test site with couple products (woocommerce) I’m using Relevanssi for search. When a search result is empty, products on the Template element are shown.
