Fuzzy search

Is there a way to search for something like ‘Skiing’ and have it bring up results that have the word ‘ski’ in it. Or search for ‘Doctor’ and have it bring up results with ‘Physician’ in it?

Hi Cary,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

The keyword search covers the title and description fields for Events posts. You could include Category and Venue matches in your results, though it would take some complex custom development that is outside what we can support here in the forums. There is a tutorial on customizing the Tribe Bar, which you might find interesting–particularly the section on adding a filter.

Another idea is to check out our Filter Bar add-on. It covers all the filtering it sounds like you’re looking for, from categories and venues to organizers, time of day, keywords and a slew of other possible (and configurable) variables.

Lastly, we maintain a list of developers who work with our plugins on our Knowledgebase here:

Let me know if you have any other questions on this topic!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
