    Hi there,
    I have some custom fields in my posts. However, the S&F search result does not find the content.
    Here is an example:
    In this post, the term “geocache” is in an ACF text field (You see it under the picture).
    When I search for the term here, however, no search result is displayed. Where is the error?
    Thanks for feedback
    Oliver

    Do you want to do this from the text search box, instead of selecting from a list of terms? If so, note that the Search & Filter Pro Text Search field uses the standard WordPress search, so looks only in the Post Title and Content, and in only their ‘standard’ way. To help you control this better, on the form’s Advanced settings tab you will see 2 settings for Relevanssi (one of which is Relevance).

    The documentation for this is here:

    https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/3rd-party/relevanssi/

    You would need to install and activate the free Relevanssi plugin as well.

    Then set Relevanssi up and build its index (make sure it is indexing the desired post types, custom fields AND any taxonomy that you want to search).
