%s% (contains) doesn’t work correctly within Tags

Hello,

So you have two products: “RS1600-40v45F2021” and “RS1600”.

If you search for “RS1600” you will see both of them. If you search for “RS1600-40v45F2021” you will see only the first one, because the plugin searches exactly this long string and does not divide it into parts.

Regards

Search query “RS1600-40v45F2021” is not a part of “RS1600” word. It can be a part of a word like “RS1600-40v45F2021-123” or “123-RS1600-40v45F2021” or “123-RS1600-40v45F2021-123”.

What you can make is use some custom code snippet to divide “RS1600-40v45F2021” into separated words like “RS1600” and “40v45F2021” and search for each of them.

add_filter( 'aws_special_chars', 'my_aws_special_chars' );
function my_aws_special_chars( $chars ) {
    unset( $chars[array_search( '-',$chars )] );
    unset( $chars[array_search( '-',$chars )] );
    return $chars;
}

add_filter( 'aws_normalize_string', 'my_aws_normalize_string' );
function my_aws_normalize_string( $string ) {
    $string = str_replace('-', ' ', $string);
    return $string;
}

You need to add it somewhere outside the plugins folder. For example, inside functions.php file of your theme or use some plugin for adding code snippets.

Also, after adding this code you will need to go to the plugin settings page and click the ‘Clear cache’ button.
