I could achive this by making the following changes:
File: wp-includes/query.php
REPLACE:
$search .= “{$searchand}(($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’) OR ($wpdb->posts.post_content LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}
WITH:
$search .= “{$searchand}(($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’) )”;
REPLACE:
$search .= ” OR ($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’) OR ($wpdb->posts.post_content LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’)”;
WITH:
$search .= ” OR ($wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’) “;
this is what i’ve been looking for! 😀 but do you know what i would change to search using tags? i.e. change post.post_content to post.post_tags (although its not this cos i’ve tried it!)
Cheers
