## Description

The “name_like” parameter was changed in WordPress **3.7** to match terms that **
contain** the “name__like” string. Use this plugin or use the function from the 
plugin file in your own (child) theme if you want it to only match terms that **
begin** with the “name__like” string as it was prior to 3.7.

This reverses the changes made in this trac ticket.
 https://core.trac.wordpress.
org/ticket/8214

The “search” parameter does almost exactly what the “name__like” parameter does 
now (in 3.7), the difference being it also searches in term slugs. Use both parameters(
as it was before 3.7) to get the terms you want.
 See: https://codex.wordpress.org/
Function_Reference/get_terms#Parameters

**Note**: this plugin only reverses it on the front end of your website for WordPress
versions 3.7 and up.
