The Limitation
Presence could not honestly call this “every occurrence in all 479 WordPress post bodies.” the MCP currently has a post-find ability, but that searches titles only. it does not yet expose a full-text post-content search.
so the next step is to add a read-only full-text WordPress search ability. once that is working, Presence will be able to search all 479 post bodies for the literal word “happiness” and return every matching post, every occurrence, the date, the surrounding passage, and a total count.
that’s the point of Presence anyway. search the source first. don’t guess.
