Underscore in title is not working in search

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for this great plugin. I’m currently using it on the resources page of the Advanced Custom Fields website.

    My problem is that a lot of my documentation has a title of ‘the_field’ or ‘get_field’ (contains an underscore).

    When someone searches for ‘the_field’, the resource article called ‘the_field’ is not being found. I have a feeling that the search is treating the ‘_’ as a like wildcard.

    Is there a way to disable the LIKE wildcard nature?

    The outcome is to have the article ‘the_field’ appear in the results.

    P.S. All other searches work great. Eg: ‘repeater’, ‘sort’

    Cheers
    Elliot

    Hey guys,

    After some good old debugging, I found my issue!

    Relevanssi is treating ‘_’ as ‘ ‘ causing ‘the_field’ to become ‘the field’ and subsequently an array of terms (‘the’, ‘field’).

    My hack is to edit the lib/common.php file and comment out line 428:

    //$a = preg_replace('/:punct:+/u', ' ', $a);

    I wonder if it’s possible to set all these params as an array which is sent through a filter allowing devs like me to remove them?

    Cheers

    Do not edit lib/common.php, but instead note that the punctuation removal function is called through a filter hook, so you can easily replace it with a new, edited version, without needing to modify Relevanssi core files.

    So yeah, I’ve already thought about this =)
