    I have configurated this Search and Filter Pro to find custom post type and I have created a search input box from the admin panel. When I type there any word that is included in the custom post type description for instance, is not finding anything.

    Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

    Really like the style of the site. Kudos!

    If I search for vividenda that works OK.

    What text do you search for, and is the text contained in custom fields? I went to a post page and did not see the usual text block, just what look like custom field values.

    Ah, so you wish to search the text inside those custom fields?

    For searching in ACF fields, where you want to use the text search field to search that meta data.

    Can you follow the instructions for using the free Relevanssi plugin (you must also install that plugin from WordPress.org):

    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/3rd-party/relevanssi/

    In the Relevanssi plugin settings page, you should find an option to include Custom Fields, and you must also then build the index in Relevanssi after you save those settings.
