I try create search it based on custom search but i have one bug & symbol, when i save my post near text like SDG&E wordpress add this SDG&E

Anyone have any idias how search SDG&E when in post it is SDG&E?

Solution

  • You can try modifying the _POST data that is sent before wordpress performs the search, for example

    $_POST['search'] = str_replace('&', '&', $_POST['search']);

    Then you can do the reverse when displaying what the search term actually was.
