Hi,
I’m trying out ivory search for a language learning website and so far so good except for one function I am trying to achieve.I have a glossary of Japanese words. I would like users to be able to search the glossary entering multiple words and get search results showing all of the terms – basically they would get a vocabulary list.
I was able to achieve this to some extent – http://japantree.benfii.com/kanji-lists
using the OR setting my searches return the glossary term for each of the vocabulary words.The problem that I am running into though is that it seems an “OR” search works only if there are 9 or less search terms. When I enter more than 9 terms at a time I get my site’s “nothing found” search error.
Is there something that I can customize to enable an “OR” search to work for more than 9 terms?
I hope my explanation is clear enough.
Any help appreciated.

sreenshot of what the search results look like when there are less than 9 terms search (no search error).
I am hoping it is possible to change a setting and enable searches to return more than 9 results at a time

I probably don’t need to say this, but to be clear, this is what I mean when I said “OR” search:

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
I could confirm the issue in the free version of the plugin.
The issue will be resolved in the upcoming version of the plugin.

In the words of Napoleon Dynamite’s uncle Rico… “right on… right on…”
