Hey again. I have something that's not really a problem, it's just a matter of preference. When I use the search bar to search for 'law', posts with the words containing "law" like 'lawn' show up. Is there a way I can fix this to get only exact matches? https://whattobecome.com/?s=law
Thanks in advance
Hi there,
you can try adding this PHP Snippet:
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'my_make_search_exact', 10);
function my_make_search_exact($query){
if(!is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search) :
$query->set('exact', true);
endif;
}It should make the search query match words exactly.
