    Hi
    I just purchased the plugin to search ACF text fields. Please advise the steps to accomplish this.

    I see this question quite often but all the replies re marked private?

    Thanks in advance

    Do you want to be able to perform text keyword searches, using the search box?

    Our plugin does not directly allow you to do text searches of individual Post Meta (custom fields) and Taxonomy (Category, Tags and Taxonomies) data/terms. The Search & Filter Pro Text Search field uses the standard WordPress search, so looks only in the Post Title and Content. To help you control this better, on the form’s Advanced settings tab you will see 2 settings for Relevanssi.

    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).

    Why keep this private? It’s so easy and useful info.

    If you see replies marked private, it will be because they have, or also have, private information in them. I am pleased my reply helped you. I will close this thread for now.
