Search results differ for typed and pasted keywords

  • There is (some) difference in the results when the keyword is typed on the keyboard in contrast to pasting the same keyword from the clipboard.

    Tried to fine tune the $config as in:
    $configs = array(
    'input' => array(
    'delay' => 300, // Impose delay (in milliseconds) before firing a search
    'min_chars' => 6, ?// Wait for at least 3 characters before triggering a search
    But with no apparent change to the situations

    Furthermore, there is slight difference in the results between smallcase and uppercase of the same search keyword.

    In example, I am getting four similar but different sets of results for searching a simple acronym, i.e.: HSC-AD (typed letter by letter) and HSC-AD (CTRL+V) as well as hsc-ad (typed and pasted).

    Hi @gunterqb,

    If the main SearchWP plugin is not installed on a site then live search uses default wordpress query to find results with ‘s’ parameter

    If there is any custom code or plugin altering WordPress queries for search, then it will also affect the results from the Live Search.

    Dear @karan,

    Thank you for your reply!

    SearchWP is installed and configured quite some time ago ??
    The Live Ajax Search is customized only by means of CSS, there is a lot of custom code in the child theme’s function.php but none of it is related to the WordPress search queries.

    Besides, one should really struggle to write proper code that would differentiate typed and pasted search string ??
