Ok got it! The problem I was facing was some of the older content had the month written out entirely (such as September), and newer posts started to be abbreviated a year later (such as Sept). Thanks for the help.

Sorry for all the messages but I forgot one other thing. The segments are not just title only anymore either. Since the end of 2017 we’ve been adding text along with the date as well. So “Dec 2, 2017 – This is a test title.” So I can’t simply set Fuzzy Matching to “whole.” as a user may only type in a part of the title using the date or keywords.

Hi thanks for you response. To confirm, this wouldn’t be a search for pages or posts that were published on a specific date. We have an archive of content that we update each week. Each page contains 10 segments (yellow bars as you see in the screenshot) and we’ve been adding to it since 2015. We manually add dates to the title of each segment.

I have attached a screenshot example. So the content a person would be searching would only include content from these pages. The problem I’m seeing is that when they search for a date such as “Sept 22, 2017” that also generates the pages in the search that include “Sept 22, 2016,” “Sept 2, 2016” etc. It seems to be grabbing any part of the date instead of the actual search inquiry which is generating more results than it should.

Thoughts?
