Fuzzy search and submit no results

[boris]

Hi !
Is it possible to have the “fuzzy search” results even if someone click the search button ?
I explain, if I search a term with a mistake, the fuzzy search tell me “You mean…” and I can see somes results. But if I click enter I’m redirected to the results page without results… Is there something I miss that can do this or is it not possible ?
Best regards,
Boris

Hi Boris,

Interesting question. I had to look into the source to see if there is any simple way of doing this, but I’m afraid this is not possible at the moment.

I think it might be doable though, I am not a 100% sure. I will take this into a feature request and see what I can do about it in a future release. (Possibly 4.27.1+, as 4.27 is very close to release).

Hello Ernest,
Thank you for your answer. Well I’m not surprise that is not possible for the moment 🙂
I found a temporaly way to do this by doing a new get_posts() on the results page with a search param that take the 3 first letters of the current search… At least there are some results.

It will be awesome if you found a good way to have the exact results of the fuzzy search. I will look close on your release.
Thank you !

Sorry to bother you about that, but I would like to know where it is about my question ?

Best regards,

The next update is in the works, I’m not sure if this is coming with it – there are huge amounts of cahnges, so we need to be sure to have a stable release. Once 4.27 is stable and released, we are going to look at these additional requests 🙂
