Possible to search for custom field data starting with xxx?

Jim P 13 Sep 2013 08:14 question, complete

Hi Low

Hope all is well with you.

I'm using Low Search to match text I have in an entry's title. Things are working as expected in that when I search for "PPF03", I get a match for "PPF03" and also "PPPF03".

My question is this: is it possible to somehow specify that what I type in should be the start of the search string, like "^PPF03%" (or whatever).

Cheers

Jim

    You could, if you use a keyword search instead of a search:title search.

    In parameters, a search for keywords="PPF03" loose_ends="right" will give you the desired results.

    Absolutely perfect results now Low - thanks! Just what was required.
