      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.
      -Tori

      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:

      Search All Or Any Of The Searched Words

      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.
