Customize WP Search WordPress

John Cotton answers:

I think this will do what you want. Add to your functions.php file.:


function my_search_filter($where) {

if( $search = get_query_var('s') ) {
$where = "AND wp_posts.post_title = '$search'";
}
return $where;
}
add_filter('posts_where','my_search_filter');


It will trap ever query just before it's run and - if it's a search (assuming its the standard search box which is called s) will fix the where clause to pull a post of the exact name of the search.

So all you need do is dress up the standard search box with some html to tell uses to put in their "code".

try adding following code to functions.php

function search_where_filter($where) {



if( $search = get_query_var('s') ) {

$where = "AND wp_posts.post_title = '$search' AND wp_posts.post_type = 'page' ";

}

return $where;

}

add_filter('posts_where','search_where_filter');


function search_posts_filter( $query ){
if ($query->is_search){
$query->set('post_type',array('page'));
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','search_posts_filter');
