Hello,
I am working on a wordpress with a lot of users and sometimes the search function is not giving me the result I want. Is there a plugin that can make it better. For exemple, on my current WP, if I look for ‘Sylvie’ it will not give me ‘Silvy’ or ‘Silvi’ for exemple. Sometimes, I have to look for specific or approximative names (last or first). We tried using custom SQL query with LIKE but it does not satisfy us , we are also not sure to use SOUNDEX query.

Soundex might be what you need. Good little example here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66673435/using-soundex-in-wordpress-or-woocommerce-default-search-query
I’m curious what your use case is for this?
