Include Tags In Wordpress Search
@Connum Thanks for the quick reply. I'm finding that even if I use your method, if I literally search just % signs like %
or %%%
, it will return strange posts that don't even exist, some with weird titles and excerpts with actual code in them. The same thing happens if I search with a blank input. Something like 100% will query fine though with your method or the original method.
I have it like this:
function custom_search_where($where){
global $wpdb;
$placeholder_string = $wpdb->placeholder_escape();
if (is_search()) {
$where .= "OR (t.name LIKE '".$placeholder_string.get_search_query().$placeholder_string."' AND {$wpdb->posts}.post_status = 'publish')";
}
return $where;
}

The updated WP code will escape any percentage signs in a query, so they are no longer seen as a wildcard in SQL, in order to prevent injections via user input in places where you don't want to have wildcards. In order to have a real percentage sign in a query written in your plugin or theme code, you'll have to make use of the mentioned method.
