In response to your request to have me open a new ticket, here it is.
You asked:
If you can give a link to your site, that would be helpful, and please do searches in the Dashboard > Admin search for “workbook lesson” and “workbook lesson 2” and please report if the results are different or exactly the same.
I added the link to my site to this topic and tested out the queries as you suggested. Here’s what I found:
Query: “Workbook Lesson”
– Results in WP admin area: Workbook Lesson 1, Workbook Lesson 2, Workbook Lesson 3, Workbook Lesson 4, etc.
– Results with Relevanssi on frontend of the site: Workbook Lesson 193, Workbook Lesson 132. Workbook Lesson 151, Workbook Lesson 154, Workbook Lesson 158, etc.
Query: “Workbook Lesson 2”
– Results in WP admin area: Workbook Lesson 2, Workbook Lesson 20, Workbook Lesson 21, Workbook Lesson 22, Workbook Lesson 23, etc.
– Results with Relevanssi on frontend of the site Workbook Lesson 200, Workbook Lesson 26, Workbook Lesson 28, Workbook Lesson 24, Workbook Lesson 23, Workbook Lesson 25, Workbook Lesson 21, Workbook Lesson 20, Workbook Lesson 29, Workbook Lesson 2, etc.
The other thing you suggested was:
The main problem here is that “2” is just not a good search term at all, and in order to get the title match to jump up to the top you need something like this: https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/adding-extra-boost-exact-title-matches/
I have to say, I get why you say that “2” is not a good search term, but I think that really depends on the website. My website offers a book online and we want people to be able to use the search function to be able to find the lessons in this book, by for example, using the query that I’ve been testing with, “workbook lesson 2”. So, for my site, “2” is in fact a good search term—especially when paired with “workbook lesson”.
I added the code provided on the page you linked, however, it didn’t change anything regarding the search results for “workbook lesson 2”.
Thank you for your continued help!!
