invalidate Results should satisfy

Not in the current version. Again I never thought about that as being wanted. Thanks for the feedback. I can make it an option in the administrator’s interface in the next version. I have no immediate plan for another version. Basically, I have run out of ideas for new features. Is there anything else you can think of that would make the plugin better? I would like to introduce some significant new features with a new version to justify the upgrade process to most users. Anyway, I will add this option at sometime hopefully with some other new features.

After some thought I have decided not to add this option because it would make an already complex interface more complicated with an option that I think most users will not find useful. The user already has a lot to consider to configure this widget and I don’t want add to this effort for something that most users will not use. Although configurability is a good thing it also adds complexity and I really like simplicity. I am personally frustrated when I see software with a long list of configuration options and one of my design goals is to minimize this kind of thing.

I am sorry but I don’t think this option would be a good design decision.

Ok, Magenta, nothing happens. Now I try to do…

thanks

If you are comfortable with changing source code you can try:

In file ‘search-types-custom-fields-widget.php’ change line 1041 from:
$and_or = $_REQUEST['search_types_custom_fields_and_or'] == 'and' ? 'AND' : 'OR';
to:

#$and_or = $_REQUEST['search_types_custom_fields_and_or'] == 'and' ? 'AND' : 'OR';
$and_or = 'OR';

This forces the search condition to ANY.

change lines 125-131 from:

<div style="text-align:center;margin:10px;">
Results should satisfy<br>
<input type="radio" name="search_types_custom_fields_and_or" value="and" checked><strong>All</strong>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type="radio" name="search_types_custom_fields_and_or" value="or"><strong>Any</strong></br>
of the search conditions.
</div>

to:

<!--
<div style="text-align:center;margin:10px;">
Results should satisfy<br>
<input type="radio" name="search_types_custom_fields_and_or" value="and" checked><strong>All</strong>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<input type="radio" name="search_types_custom_fields_and_or" value="or"><strong>Any</strong></br>
of the search conditions.
</div>
-->

That should keep the and or box from being generated.

After looking at the code for this I saw some errors so I will be making a maintenance release soon and unfortunately you will need to again manually change these lines if you upgrade.

Thanks Magenta, it’s OK!
