Issues with Search Function

I’m having some difficulty getting the GeoDirectory search function to populate the results pages with consistent listings for a search phrase.

For example, one of our venues is listed under ‘St Mary’s Church Hall’ under the category ‘Hall’. However, if I enter the phrase ‘st marys church’, the results page shows 32 listings, with St Mary’s listed third on page 3 of the results.

If I amend the search to ‘st mary’s church hall’, the results page delivers 0 results.

‘st marys’ delivers 21 results, but ‘St Mary’s Church Hall’ appears half-way down on page 2.

Can you please advise as to how we can generate relevant results on the results page? The search function is a core component of the site, and presently, it’s usefulness is undermined by the randomness of the results delivered.

Thanks!
