Tagged: custom fields, search
I need to search 3 or 4 different custom fields, but I want to use the “search” text input field for each meta, not a dropdown field. I know SF can’t do this out of the box. And I don’t think Relevanssi will work either because I don’t want to limit the main wordpress search. Is there any way to make SF Pro work with multiple search fields that each search a different meta field?
The closest I can come is using the “Combobox” on a dropdown field, but it will only let me search for an existing dropdown option. I want the user to be able to type in any text.
I appreciate any advice on how I can make this work!

However, a simple reply is possible in this case, which is to say that what you want to do is not possible, given the way our plugin works with WordPress to perform text string searches.
