WordPress search operators

As a WordPress user, you may already know that the default WordPress search matches selective words. With this, it also accepts particular search operators. You should also remember that you can choose between the two operators in search to improve the results. These operators are AND and OR.

With the operators, you can easily search for the best-ranking page. However, when talking about the search option of WordPress, WordPress will give you only one-field form. 

Among the WordPress search operators, the default search operator of WordPress uses the AND operator. The work of the AND operator is to inform the database that all the search terms are present in the obtained results.

On the other hand, the OR operator tells the database that anyone or the number of search terms are present in the search results.

In brief, the OR operator makes the search results wider, while the AND operator narrows down the search results. 

Many users have found this thing user-friendly as compared to the words ‘Nothing Found’’.
