Using Boolean operators with Exact search

    Hello,

    I am trying to use boolean operator with exact search but I am not getting the desired results.

    I am trying to fetch those posts which have “cute cats” and “dangerous dogs”.

    So that I get the results having exactly “cute cats”, “dangerous dogs”

    cute cats and dangerous dogs can be anything. They can be inside post title, post content, post tags, custom field.

    So, I did this: “cute cats” +”dangerous dogs”

    Unfortunately, I am not getting the desired results.

    But when I did cute cats +dangerous dogs (without quotes).
    It returned posts which have cute birds and dangerous animals also, because this is not a exact search.

    I have tried different combinations like:

    -> “cute cats +dangerous dogs”
    -> “cute cats” “+dangerous dogs”
    -> “cute cats” + “dangerous dogs” (space after +)

    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here.

    I am using Relevanssi with FacetWP plugin for searching.

    Thanks.

    First of all, the + operator is only available in Relevanssi Premium. If you’re using free Relevanssi, it’s not going to work at all.

    Also, "cute cats" "dangerous dogs" is automatically an AND search, it can’t be done as an OR search.
