Hi! Great plugin.<\/p>\n
I’m wondering if there is a solution for this need:<\/p>\n
In my membership directories, there are a couple of custom search fields that are numerical. For example one is “Region”. These regions are defined in the database as numbers, but on the front end we’d like to allow searching by their common names eg. “South”, “North”. Obviously the region number equals a common name: 1 = South.<\/p>\n
Currently, when the user searches, they have to search using a number. We could always offer them a “key” printed on the page to elaborate what number equals what region, but the search will return region 10 when 1 is input in the search box (which is of course expected behavior on these particular search fields).<\/p>\n
Ideally, I’d like to do these things in order of preference:<\/p>\n
1.) Instead of typed search, is there anyway to present a drop down of the common names to search from? A drop down that presented North, South etc. This would in turn search the appropriate number?<\/p>\n
2.) If that’s not possible, can the search be performed as an exact match? So if someone searched Region “1” it would ONLY return region 1 and not also region 10?<\/p>\n
I’m open to using search filters as well as other plugins. Any advice appreciated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-10816353","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-custom-field","topic-tag-dropdown","topic-tag-filter"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10816353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10816353\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10816353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
