Search only for the whole word

[Derek Brown]

Does your plugin allow the search to only show results with the whole word.

For example, when I search for ‘Paris’ it is bringing up events with the word ‘caparisoned’

It should only show events with the word ‘Paris’.

Hi Adam!

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

By default, the search functionality will throw results such as the one you mention. So, if there are words that contain “paris” in it, just like ‘caparisoned’, it will be one of the results.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in functionality to modify this behavior, which is in fact the WordPress search functionality narrowed down to the events post type.

I hope that helps. Let me know if any follow up questions.

Best,
Victor
