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?

Hello,

It is possible within Views plugin, there is a built-in feature within custom search form, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-for-a-specific-text-string-search/#search-in-content-or-titles
section "Search in content or titles"
You can choose to search just in the post title, or in both the title and post content.
And user can search only partial keyword, and get the all related post posts.

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 🙂
