Searching for Podcast by Any Word in Title

Hello!


My podcast, Forward by Faith, is searchable in Apple Podcasts only by the entire title. Is there a way to be able to search and find the podcast by using either the word "Forward" or "Faith?"


I use Libysn and have tried everything on that end.


Thanks!

Apple Search is based on what is in a shows title and Author tag - and then sorted by the total number of subscribers all time.


That means when you search for just forward or just faith - you are competing with all the podcasts that have faith in their title or author tag. And likely your show is not in the top 60 results for that single word.


There is nothing you can do to improve your placement for your show for searches for Faith or Forward - other than getting more people to subscribe to your show in Apple Podcasts.
