   search is only for terms, not for description if i type ‘american” who is description
   of first term, i got no results… is there a way to have your search feature only
   for terms and descriptions? Thank’s

 * Hi eliess,
    this depends on wordpress and search for description as example [https://demo.codeat.co/glossary/?post_type=glossary&s=DeLorean&glossary-cat=0](https://demo.codeat.co/glossary/?post_type=glossary&s=DeLorean&glossary-cat=0)
   DeLorean it isn’t in any terms title but just on description and found them without
   any issues. What do you have tried?

 * yes but as there’s no highlight on DeLorean you can’t see search results

 * The terms highlight in search is not part of WordPress.
    I think that you can
   add it with a plugin but is a normal behavior wordpress to not color it.
 * Basically it is not a fault of the plugin or WordPress as it is a feature that
   doesn’t exists.
