Match exact term

  • Hello, Thank you for your plugin. It’s really light weight, simple and amazing.

    I only have 1 question that when I choose “No” for match exact term, it shows a lot of non-sense results for the term. for example when user search for “car” term, it can show at the beginning products related to “care” “scary” “carpenter”. However, I wanted it to show only “car” and “cars”. But with selecting “Yes” for match exact term, it shows only the exact term and now I need to edit several products to add the singular and plural noun of each tag. Do you have a solution for this?

    Thank you.

    Hi Sumit,

    Thank you for your response. I actually used another plugin which has the fuzzy and partial match. It’s not the best but do the job.

    If you have quick solution that can do the job, please inform me as your plugin is very light weight. If it will require lots of work, then I’m fine with the current solution in the time being.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    The problem is this plugin uses SQL Like for this functionality we need full text search. The plugin you are using right could be using separate DB tables to do this. With WP default table this is not possible.

    I think in future version I will provide partial matching e.g. car will match cars and care but not scary. i.e. match anything starting with car or match anything ending with car.

    However, this will still not resolve your issue completely. For this I need to completely redesign the plugin but my main objective here lightweight even if we give up some of the functionality. So honestly speaking, looking at the competitor plugins those already have full text matching and indexing functionality I have no plans to do this.

    But if you wish I should provide other options apart from partial or exact e.g. start from or end with then I can work in that direction.

    Thanks

    Hi Sumit,

    Thank you for all the information. I think I can wait for the update and test it out on some staging website to see if it do what I want. I actually love how it’s light weight and changes the whole wordpress experience as with wordpress it only depend on the titles. So, you already did a great job. I’m looking forward to check the plugin after the update and thank you for this amazing plugin.

    Thanks,
