    Hi, I really like Better Search, simpler and faster compare to search unleased and relevanssi.

    For my site purpose, I modified the plugin to give post title more weight by replacing line 153 – 157:

    $sql = "SELECT ID,post_title,post_content,post_excerpt,post_date, MATCH(post_title,post_content) AGAINST ('".$s."') AS score FROM ".$wpdb->posts." WHERE MATCH (post_title,post_content) AGAINST ('".$s."') AND post_status = 'publish' ";
    		if ($bsearch_settings['include_pages'])
    			$sql .= "AND (post_type='post' OR post_type = 'page') ";
    		else
    			$sql .= "AND post_type = 'post' ";

    with the following code:

    $sql = "SELECT ID, post_title, post_content, post_excerpt,
    			CASE WHEN post_title LIKE '%".$s."%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS titlematch,
    			MATCH (post_title, post_content) AGAINST ('".$s."') AS score
    			FROM  ".$wpdb->posts."
    			WHERE MATCH (post_title, post_content) AGAINST ('".$s."' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AND post_status = 'publish' ";
    		$sql .= ($bsearch_settings['include_pages']) ? " AND (post_type='post' OR post_type = 'page') " : " AND post_type = 'post' ";
    		$sql .= " HAVING score > 2
    			ORDER BY (titlematch * 1.5 + score) DESC ";

    hope that it will give you more idea for the next plugin update.

    Hi,

    For my website purpose, I also add search excerpt (grabbed from search extract plugin) and search terms highlighter functions to the plugin.
