Hi Steven

In regards to your first point – do you have a link I could look at?

RE the second, its possible to filter through the query to get this data – however I’m working on a feature where you will have access to some simple functions to achieve that – I can dig the code out or would you prefer to wait for the feature?

Thanks

Hi Steven

To answer your questions.

What may be happening is if the post meta data is serialised then the only way to search this in the database is to use a %LIKE% compare… in MySQL.

Please see this post for more in depth info on how this currently works

Actually, the next version of S&F will likely create a sort of cache for all this info, and I’m hoping that this problem therefore won’t exist (and the search queries will be much faster) but I’m still working through this atm as its not finalised.

You could alternatively create a custom taxonomy where this issue would not occur.

RE your other question, here is a function I wrote to grab taxonomy information from the search (wp_query object)

And here is post for grabbing ACF data:

For now I implemented a custom taxonomy.

Looking forward to 2.0!

Thanks, Ross!
