[s2Member-List /] Search * Wildcards Enabled by Default?

[jaswrks]

A user writes...

can the search functionality automatically include the * so that users don't need to do that themselves. Most internet users will not know to do that. That's just something that people who are familiar with databases would try.

Agreed! This is something that is supported by the underlying WP_User_Query class, but the default behavior is to find an exact match. That should default to fuzzy matches, and provide another shortcode attribute to control the behavior.

Temporary workaround...

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

<?php
add_action('init', function(){
    if(!empty($_REQUEST['s2-s']))
        $_REQUEST['s2-s'] = '*'.$_REQUEST['s2-s'].'*';
}, 1);
