Remove quotation marks from search term results

    First I’d like to say thanks for this plugin, as it means I can reliably use search (for “exact phrases”) as the primary means of navigation my site.

    However, I’d like to be able to remove the “……” from the search term on the search results page. Is there a way of tweaking functions.php or search.php to achieve this?

    Thanks

    You need to edit your search results template to do that. Find where the search terms are printed out and remove the quotation marks there.

    Can you give me any pointers on how to do that?

    Maybe, if you show me the search results template of your theme. Put it in a pastebin somewhere and share the link, and I’ll take a look at it.

    Great. I copied the file to my Dropbox ~ I hope that works for you:

    If you’re talking about the H1 header, replace this:

    <?php printf( __( ' %s', 'twentytwelve' ), '&nbsp;<span>' . get_search_query() . '</span>' ); ?>

    with this:

    <?php $search_query = get_search_query(); $search_query = str_replace('"', '', $search_query); printf( __( ' %s', 'twentytwelve' ), '&nbsp;<span>' . $search_query . '</span>' ); ?>

    That should do the trick.

    Genius! It works a treat.

    Thank you VERY much.
