Hi guys,
I am trying to display search results of a post title even when only partial results appear.

So for example, if there are a few posts titled "Strawberry Cheesecakes" "Vanilla Cheesecakes" "New York Cheesecakes" and the user simply searches "Cheesecakes" it will bring up all 3 posts.

Is this possible using the Text search 'Just Post title' method?

Hi Stuart

Using the text search doesn't have to match the entire title, it will also match whole and partial words, as you can see in the screenshot.

(The results without the search term have it in the post body, which this search includes.)

Thank you - I don't know why when I tried this the first time round it wasn't displaying partial results, now it does! Loving Toolset so far 🙂
