Trevor.
Hello devs! I’m building a real estate website where I wanted users to use the search form to search through the post titles and other details from the custom fields attached to a property.
Is there anyway the search form could also through a custom field values? Cause apparently, it only searches through Post Titles if im not mistaken. Is this possible with the current version or this will be included on the future? Thanks!
Best,
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).
