  • AND
  • AND with exact word matches
The default is "OR". For more information about the logics please read search logics explained​

Primary vs Secondary keyword logic

Primary is the main logic, that the search uses by default. When there are not enough results to reach the limit, the plugin automatically tries again with secondary keyword logic to fill the remaining results.
Always choose a more strict logic as the primary, and a less strict as secondary. Logic order by strictness (most strict first):
  1. 1.
    AND with exact keyword matches
  2. 2.
    AND
  3. 3.
    OR with exact keyword matches
  4. 4.
    OR
Recommended configurations:
