    Hi WP.

    I work with a WP Multisite setup and we have 70 sites currently in use. When I go to the Network sites page (/wp-admin/network/sites.php) and I want to search for a site, I need to type the site name “exactly” as it has been configured in the admin.

    Is there a way this can be a loose search and allow LIKE ‘%%’ when we search for a site so that we don’t have figure out the exact spelling to find a site?

    Thanks
    Tim

    You can search with partials, in a way.

    Like I can search for ‘woo*’ and get woot, wood, woof

    But I can’t do ‘*od’

    Hi Mike,

    I guess that kind of works for the more advanced users, but I think it would be nice to have this as a default.

    I will pass this info onto my local devs so they know.

    Thanks
    Tim

    It would. We ran into memory problems 🙂

    Really? That’s interesting… Then I would assume that the “Posts” search is handled differently than the “Site” search?

    Yes. It’s also got to do with dabatase indexes, and … well if you’ve ever tried to search on a site with over 74,082,523 posts you’d see the problem.

    It doesn’t scale well 🙂
