Search - results even if not 100% match
Is there anyway to alter the search so it brings up part match results?
e.g. I want all of the solicitors in my business directory to show (uses Blog app) if the user searches 'solicitor', instead of 'solicitors' - rather than just the one result
https://lovebedfordbusinesses.co.uk/search.php?q=solicitor https://lovebedfordbusinesses.co.uk/search.php?q=solicitors
Not currently. The search uses MySQL's indexing, and that doesn't yet support stemming.
It is something we could conceivably implement on the application level, but it's a significant amount of work to support even a small selection of languages, let alone all the languages used by Perch customers. (I'm not sure how word stemming would work in Hebrew, for example!)
Thanks for clarifying. Am I right in thinking a workaround for this would be to create a 'keywords' field for each blog entry and get the search to look up this field as well as the PostDesc and the PostTitle?
edit and obviously put 'solicitor' for example as a keyword
Yes, that would be a good approach.
Ah, I can use the 'tag' already built in.
Thanks Drew.
