    1) I checked “Use custom template for results” (which is set to search.php), but the search results are defaulting to index.php. Is there some other way to set the template for the results? My search form is for a custom post type, in case that makes a difference.

    2) Search & Filter Pro only searches post meta that are included as filters and post titles. So when I enter a keyword in the search box, it only returns posts where the post title or one of the filters has that keyword. Most of the post content is in other custom fields, tough. Is there a way can I get it to search all of the custom post content?

    I figured out question 2 on my own — I needed to move the non-filter meta content to the description field to render it searchable.

    Still need help with #1, though. Thanks!

    Thanks so much, Trevor. I figured out #1, which was developer error 🙂

    I’ll give the Relevanssi plugin a try for #2.

    Let me know if you need any help? Searching custom fields and taxonomies from the textual Search box is possible if you install the free Relevanssi plugin, set it to do that (the box/field to ask it to search custom fields needs the word all in it). You then enable support in the Advanced settings tab of the S&F Pro form.
