Simple logic OR in $wpdb query

    My live search only finds results in the post Content OR the Post Titles.
    If I take the post_content on the first Place in my Code (like it is now), its finding results in the Content. When I take post_title on the First Place it only searches my typed Words in the Title.
    My Question: How should I write the code if I want it to search in my post Content AND Post Titles?

    $query = "
			SELECT
				$wpdb->posts.ID
			FROM
				$wpdb->posts
			WHERE
				((post_content LIKE '%%%s%%') OR (post_title LIKE '%%%s%%')
				AND post_status='publish'
				AND post_type='".$post_type."'
				$excludes
				$order_results
			LIMIT 0, %d";

    I’m not entirely sure how you have things setup (since there are other variables in your sql statement)… but try this:

    $query = "
	SELECT
		$wpdb->posts.ID
	FROM
		$wpdb->posts
	WHERE
		post_content LIKE '%s'
	OR
		post_title LIKE '%s'
	AND
		post_status='publish'
	AND
		post_type='".$post_type."'
		$excludes
		$order_results
	LIMIT 0, %d";

    Thanks for the reply
    But it’s still not working with your code 🙁

    With your Code it doesn’t find something in the title or Content at all.
