  1. You may be correct but i was using it on my https://www.reliable4you.com site and earlier when i searches for a single word it gave so many results but now, it shows a results not found page…

    Also, I tried a lot of times to put 2 same keywords of a title of a post or page but it didn’t responded with results, ultimately now i have deactivated for instance but i would still like to use (and reference with an article) if it can work for now with latest WordPress updates…

    I just tested on a fresh plugin installation on a new installation of wordpress. There are no other plugins loaded and the search works. I put in debug output and it is correctly creating the correct sql and finding the right post.

    If it is not working, how is it failing? The plugin might not handle non-roman alphabets, and wordpress may have made some changes in the way it stores different alphabets.

    I did not know anyone was still using it. I will take a look and see if I can see why it stopped working.

  4. Hi, I was using this plugin but suddenly noticed that it is not working with latest version of wordpress, so is there any update or shall I start using Google Search like you are using for your sites…

    As far as I know, it still works. I have made some improvements to it, but it was never popular enough to justify working on it. I decided to go with Google searches on my sites because I can monetize the searches.

    I’ll upgrade it and test on my 3.6 beta site. If it still works, I’ll update the wordpress repository.

    Is Looser Search Plugin still being maintained? Or is it at least known to be compatible with WordPress 3.5? If so, would you consider bumping the compatible-up-to version on https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/looser-search-plugin/ ?

    I have to urldecode the search string. It gets encoded by the search form. I will take a look at it.

    I have a problem when searching for words that have (‘) like canción (ó) I want if people typed cancion or canción to get search results.

    I tried using [$q=str_replace(‘ó’,’o’,$q);] but no luck, any suggestions?
