    Hi Todd. The default WordPress search (and therefore our textual search field) only searches the title and content, and not tags categories and custom fields. To extend the search to these, install the free relevanssi plugin and set that up as required and build the index. Then, in the form setup, go to the Advanced tab and enable support for relevanssi.

    Let me know if that works for you, and if I can close the thread?

    Ah. I think I see the issue. When using the default search (e.g. the one in the menu bar) it gives a URL like this:

    http://thismess.wpengine.com/?_s=melon

    Which means that it is using the default WordPress search. You need to replace any search boxes with Search and filter ones. And then you would likely have a custom results page, not the default wordpress search results page.

    That was it! Thanks.. I thought I could make the cool ultimatum search box work with SF PRO.. too bad.. I love the magnifier icon in place of the standard search box. Appreciate the help.. feel free to close.

    It probably CAN be done. I just don’t know how.
