Search term with underscore

    I want to include underscores in search, e.g. when searching for “array_values” I want to find pages where exactly this word occurs and not the words “array” and “values”.

    To archive that, I have to use filter “relevanssi_punctuation_filter” to replace underscores with some placeholder (e.g. “UNDERSCORETAIKASANA”):

    '_' => 'UNDERSCORETAIKASANA'

    But then, this placeholder has to be replaced back to underscore:

    $a = str_replace( 'DESIMAALITAIKASANA', '.', $a ); // This is already present in lib/common.php
$a = str_replace( 'UNDERSCORETAIKASANA', '_', $a ); // This is new

    Can you please add this? ??

    No, because you can already do this with filters. I have the same need on Relevanssi.com myself, and I have this:

    add_filter('relevanssi_remove_punctuation', 'rlv_keep_underscores_pre', 9);
function rlv_keep_underscores_pre($a) {
	$a = str_replace('_', 'UNDERSCOREUNDERSCORE', $a);
	return $a;
}

add_filter('relevanssi_remove_punctuation', 'rlv_keep_underscores_post', 11);
function rlv_keep_underscores_post($a) {
	$a = str_replace('UNDERSCOREUNDERSCORE', '_', $a);
	return $a;
}

    However, in most cases, you’d actually do fine with just this:

    add_filter( 'relevanssi_punctuation_filter', function( $punct ) { $punct['_'] = ''; return $punct; } );

    That’s likely enough, because in practise there’s few cases where “array_values” and “arrayvalues” would need to be separate things.

    Hi Mikko,

    thank you, this helped.

    I’ld like to give s.th. in return but the “donate” link leads to purchasing Relevanssi Premium, which I don’t need ??

    I’m sorry, but telling you my email here would be a breach of forum rules, so I can’t do that.

    I’m fine with the review, but if you really insist, I’m msaari on Making WordPress Slack, so you can drop me a note there.
