Description
SearchWP LIKE Terms is an extension for the SearchWP WordPress search plugin that applies partial term matching using SQL LIKE. It finds results where a search term appears as a substring within a word, catching matches that standard word-boundary searching would miss. The extension is deprecated as of SearchWP version 3.0 and will be removed soon.
Key Features
- Partial Term Matching – Searches can match a term that appears inside a longer word rather than only as a whole word.
- No Spell Checking – Unlike Fuzzy Matches, it performs no primitive spell checking, so close spelling variants are not pulled in.
- SKU Searching – It suits partial matching of SKUs without exposing thousands of similarly spelled SKUs.
- Minimum Word Length – A filter lets you set the minimum word length before LIKE matching is applied, with a default of 4.
Who Is It For
This extension is for site owners already using the SearchWP WordPress search plugin who want partial keyword matching, such as partial SKU lookups, without the spelling variants that Fuzzy Matches would include. Because it is deprecated as of SearchWP 3.0, it is relevant mainly to existing setups that still rely on it.
