Search Plugin Not Querying any ACF Fields

Hi There,

I bought this plugin to use for querying a custom post type which uses ACF fields within it.

Using the shortcode search function, it queries the post title, but doesn’t seem to be detecting any of the ACF data that sits within it.

Could you advise on if there’s a setting I need to activate here please?

Thanks in advane

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:

You would need to install and activate the free Relevanssi plugin as well.

Relevanssi must be set up as you want, and then you must and build its index (make sure it is indexing the desired post types, custom fields AND any taxonomy that you want to search).
