The search results only seem to search the titles – which I think default search for WP is title and content.
If i move my content form custom field to content then will the search in your plugin search the content text as well as title.?

As an alternative suggestion, that WordPress search behavior can be modified using plugins, such as Relevanssi, which is a free plugin, see here for details:

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

In the Relevanssi plugin settings page, you should find options to add the categories/tags/taxonomies/custom fields/custom post types to the search, and you must also then build the index in Relevanssi after you save those settings.

Alternative? My initial questions was will your plugin search inside content and title or just title?
Will it?

Our plugin does not perform the text field search. That is handled by WordPress, which itself only searches Post Title, Content and Excerpt. That then passes an array of matching Post IDs to our plugin, which would then be further filtered by any other filter choices you or the user make.

So, as long as your theme is asking WordPress to search in both content and title, so will our plugin.
