I was gonna warn against this, but maybe you know a way to solve my issue with using the search query: it logs it in the dashboard, making the trending search term widget useless.
Granted, not a huge deal, but: can one use the search endpoint without logging it?
I don’t think there is a formal document, but if you use the UI elements in the search results page (or the “options” link in the search widget, you can experiment with the various options and see the syntax appear once you have completed the form.
This is probably better handled as a separate support topic as it isn’t really related to the question posted by @Olivier_Lambert.
Oh, yep. It didn’t occur to me they’d be passing it along at time of search (I’m not a total ditz, I cache things in WordPress and thought we were having the same issue ).
