Exact match not working | WordPress.org

Your search results are not ordered by relevance. If I add &orderby=relevance to the end of the search results page URL to force the order to be by relevance, the exact match results are first.

Try adding this function to your theme functions.php or in a code snippet to force the result order:

add_filter( 'relevanssi_modify_wp_query', function( $query ) {
  $query->set( 'orderby', array( 'relevance' => 'desc' ) );
  return $query;
} );

That seemed to do the trick! One question, in my settings it is supposed to sort by relevance, Is there something overwriting this? Kinda the point of the plugin ay? : )
thanks

orderby is a common WordPress query parameter, and other plugins may mess with it. Common culprits are all sorts of custom post order plugins.
