For multiple search terms; ?s=hello+world

Wordpress work find "hello world" like the_title , the_content posts!

  • And, if our post title Hello Anna wordpress does not get one results!

I want to use all keys:

"hello world" , "hello" , "world"

Maybe array('hello world','hello','world'); but it exceeds my exp.! Is it in a single loop may be able to divide the query and send multiple queries? Is there someone who can help on the subject? e.g. ?s=, $_GET

Wanted something must have been like to call more results for multiple queries!

Fixed: Search and result the all keys;

    <?php
        $the_keys = preg_split('/\s+/', str_replace('-',' ',get_query_var('s')),-1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
        $total_keys = count($the_keys);

        $the_query = new WP_Query(array('post_type'=>'nothing'));

        if($total_keys>1){

            for($i = 0; $i<=$total_keys; $i++) {
                $the_query_mask = new WP_Query(array('s' => $the_keys[$i]));
                $the_query->post_count = count( $the_query->posts );
                $the_query->posts = array_merge( $the_query->posts, $the_query_mask->posts );
            }               

        } else {

            $the_query= new WP_Query(array('s' => get_query_var('s')));

        }
        if ($the_query->have_posts()) : ?>

Note: 'post_type'=>'nothing' just need array merge!

  • it just needs to order the results by the default order after the array_merge – juz Apr 15 '16 at 1:57
  • Thank you. Yes that is right. It is also necessary to mask some symbols. e.g. How to ? need to remove ? key! But they're simple things. The hard part was solved. <3 wp – lllllllllllll Apr 15 '16 at 2:07
  • the other item that is missing is how the pagination would work (if you have any) – juz Apr 15 '16 at 2:28
  • Performance versus value is the question and test you should be running. This may work well on a simple site, but a blog that posts daily, it's a large query, and this would be quite taxing in many cases. A better solution might be to limit query variables in the UI to begin with? – Nathan Powell Apr 15 '16 at 2:41
  • My solution would be an Ajax type search, where you add filters to single variables. – Nathan Powell Apr 15 '16 at 2:42

Maybe somebody like me want fuzzy logic results

I solved this way: "search.php"

<?php
    $the_keys = preg_split('/\s+/', get_query_var('s'),-1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);

    $total_keys = count($the_keys); // Count the search term

    $the_query = new WP_Query(array('s' => get_query_var('s')));

            // IF have multiple term and havent a result
            if($total_keys > 1 && $the_query->post_count < 1){

                // Loop for total term count, if found post break it! <3
                for($i = 0; $i < $total_keys; $i++) {

                    //Set the new array term value
                    $the_query = new WP_Query(array('s' => $the_keys[$i]));

                    //if found post break it! <3
                    if($the_query->post_count>0) break;

                }

            }
            // List of my Level 2 filter posts :)
            if ($the_query->have_posts()) : ?>

......

<?php 
endwhile; 
endif; 
?>

e.g. post title: ( Hello baby )

Normaly:

  • ?s=hello+baby => find true
  • ?s=hello => find true
  • ?s=baby => find true
  • ?s=hello+whats+up => find false
  • ?s=hey+baby => find false

search, Work now and find e.g. ?s=hello+whats+up => find true

You are getting into deep water quickly. I would look into SearchWP plugin as they provide LIKE searching and Fuzzy matching. SearchWP

    Thank you @1Bladesforhire I know this logic, but exhaustive for servers! Plug-in create a term cloud. It not suitable for the size of the project. – lllllllllllll Apr 14 '16 at 21:24
  • I work on the $query = new WP_Query( array( 's' => 'keyword' ) ); 's' => array('keyword','keyword') but i need help. – lllllllllllll Apr 14 '16 at 21:47
  • @HybridWebDev no affiliation, just have used the plugin and liked it. Has the needed stuff and thought I would offer it as an alternative. – 1Bladesforhire Oct 11 '18 at 23:05
