It sounds like you’re looking for the get_terms() function that’s a wrapper for WP_Term_Query. There you can e.g. use the name__like, description__like or search parameters. Example: Here’s what kind of WHERE query they generate: ‘name__like’ => ‘hout’ >>> (t.name LIKE ‘%hout%’) ‘description__like’ => ‘hout’ >>> tt.description LIKE ‘%hout%’ ‘search’ => ‘hout’ >>> (t.name LIKE ‘%hout%’) … Read more
