    Hello, I know it has been a few years since you created this, but in case you are still answering questions…

    Is it possible to do an OR search for the same field. For example, in your scenario above, could I search for “Ruby” OR “Apple” in the Title field?

    I have been trying to set your plugin up and am having some trouble with that. Besides that, it has been a valuable tool, so thank you for creating it.
