searchwp_partial_matches_lenient

When partial matching is enabled, SearchWP will attempt to find partial matches regardless of whether an exact match was used in the search string.

You can prevent SearchWP from finding partial matches if there is an exact match using this hook:

      
        <?php
      
        // Prevent SearchWP from finding partial matches if an exact match is found.
      
        add_filter( 'searchwp_partial_matches_lenient', function( $lenient, $args ) {
      
          // $args['engine'] is the engine being used
      
          return false; // true/false
      
        }, 20, 2 );
