Help with custom search query

Replies: 0

Hello,

I am trying to build a query that searches through my custom post type ‘resource’, and displays anything similar. so if we have digital as a title and the user puts in digitals or misspells it they will be shown ‘Digital’.

I have this code, and if you only do d, or any part of the word up to the l so d-i-g-i-t-a-l. it will pull up digital but if you add in the s it does not display any results.

<?php $resource=htmlspecialchars($_GET["s"]); ?>

<?php $query = "
        SELECT      *
        FROM        $wpdb->posts
        WHERE       $wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE '%$resource%'
        AND         $wpdb->posts.post_type = 'resource'
        ORDER BY    $wpdb->posts.post_title
";
print_r($query);
$pageposts=$wpdb->get_results($query);
	 if ($pageposts): ?>
 <?php global $post; ?>
 <?php foreach ($pageposts as $post): ?>
 <?php setup_postdata($post); ?>

 <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
 <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
    <?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
    <div class="entry">
       <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
    </div>
    <p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>
    <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
 </div>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
 <?php else : ?>
  <div class="wrap">
    <hr class="hr--transparent">
    <h2>Nothing found</h2>
    <hr class="hr--transparent">
  </div>
<?php endif; ?>

Any ideas on how I can get the like to work in my query would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron
