Can you make the number “0” equal the letter “o” when site visitors search?

    My company has products that are titled O2iD8, O6MDP3 etc and visitors to our site seem to confuse the letter O at the front of these part numbers with the number 0 leading to no results when using our search bar. I tried using o=0 in the synonyms section to no avail. How can the number 0 equal o in their searches if someone were to type in (for example) 02iD8 instead of O2iD8 and yield the O2iD8 product? Thanks!

    I’d do it like this:

    add_filter( 'relevanssi_post_title_before_tokenize', 'rlv_o_to_0' );
function rlv_o_to_0( $title ) {
  return $title . ' ' . str_replace( 'O', '0', $title );
}

    Add this to your theme functions.php and rebuild the index. Now the titles will be indexed both ways, so the O2iD8 will be indexed as O2iD8 02iD8.
