    Very great plugin!

    I notice when I try searching for a listing which has in its name or info e.g “Air bender”.
    If I type “Air”, “bender” or “Air bender”, it comes up. But if I type “bend”, “Airbender” or “der” nothing comes up.
    I need the search to be less specific and be able to bring more general results as long as the keyword is part of the name/info of the listing.

    Thank you.

    Thank you. I will be looking forward to it.
    Just to also mention that this also applies to the Search by Location or Address.
    Therefore, a user who searched for “GhanaHale” should be able to see a listing with the address as “Hale Street, Ghana”

    Thank you.

    Lastly, sorry to bother you.

    I would really like the search to look through other fields like the Tagline, Short Description and Tags when running a query. It seems to only look through the Name and Full Description field.

    Also, If a user types a text in the search box which is similar to a category on the site and not to any business name, I think it’s better to bring results in that category (As if searching for a category) instead of showing no result.

    Thank you AazzTech.

    WP Extended Search plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extended-search/) solved the problem!
