I have a View with and Exposed Filter: Search: Search Terms to filter the view result based in the keywords entered in this filter.

I works, but not as I expected.

Lets say I have a node with the title "The car, a good transport". Then:

  • if I enter the keyword: car the node is shown
  • if I enter the keywords: car a good the node is not shown
  • if I enter the keywords: good car the node is not shown

Is this behaviour right? I need the node to be shown in all these situations

UPDATE: I see that there is already an open issue about this: http://drupal.org/node/1615438

  • do you want that node "The car, a good transport" as result, if you enter anyone of above 3?

  • If you want to search nodes based on title alone, you can try with Node:title instead of Search:search terms in filter section and select the operator as "Contains any word".

  • good idea, but I also need to search into the body of the node.

  • @Sathiya Based in your idea I added the node:title and node:body and get it working. Do you mind to move your comment as an answer so that I can accept it?

Search API allows the indexing of multiple fields. This would allow you to search both title and body fields.

It's better to use operator "contains all words". Drupal search is no good, it's indexing everything but then you can't find anything..
