“Keyword matching” setting: Whole words – Doesn’t work

  • Hello,

    We are experiencing an issue with the “Keyword matching” setting: Whole words, which is not working. For example, we have several PDFs with the term “RPO”, but if we specify in the search something like “22_RPO”, it will not return “22_RPO”, but rather all the PDFs containing “RPO”.

    Could you please help us with this?

    Thank you in advance, and have a great day.

    By default, underscores are replaced with spaces, so “22_RPO” is indexed as “22 RPO”. You can fix this with

    add_filter( 'relevanssi_punctuation_filter', function( $replacements ) {
      $replacements['_'] = '';
      return $replacements;
    } );

    Add this and rebuild the index. Now “22_RPO” is indexed as “22RPO”.

    Thanks for your return. We did add the code, but it’s not working… we’re being told that there are no search results.

    Did you rebuild the index after adding the code?
