how to add "" search bar
Hi!
I like your plugin very much!
I have been using it on my site quite a bit, but then i realized that search results are much better if each time i search for something i add "" to the word. Example when i search for horse, i have to write "horse" to get better results.
Is there a way i could add "" to every search? Or a setting that can search like that?
Thank you very much for help!
Best, Mak

In what way do you get better results?

For example i have a lot of posts that start with a word radio. Radio City, Radio Antenna, Radio Dur...
When i search for Radio Dur i get all other radio posts, plus radio dur is not even on the first page of the seatch results. If i type "radio dur" then i get only radio dur, exactly what i wanted.
The thing is, that people who use search function on my page, they know what are they searching for, so the usually type in the correct name, and want a straight answer.
thank u in advance for any bit of help.
best, Mak

This is just the way the search works, which is determined by MySQL. Without quotes the search will be performed on each word, with quotes it will be on the whole phrase.

i know that quotes are optional for users to type in if they want to be able to search for a whole phrase. i was wondering if that can be done without typing quotes. my search bar will look much more clean if there is no text that says please type the word you want to search in quotes.
