searchwp_like_wildcard_before

By default when partial matching is enabled, SearchWP will apply a LIKE wildcard before the search term. If you would like to prevent that you can use this hook:

      
        <?php
      
        // Prevent SearchWP from using a wildcard before search terms when finding partial matches.
      
        add_filter( 'searchwp_like_wildcard_before', '__return_false' );
