Hi,
I've got this hospital's web page - hidden link - with the field "cerca per nome o specialità" where I want to filter the archive of doctors by name (it's the title of the doctor's page) or specialty (inserted in a custom field).
There are no problems with the name of the doctors, but I can't search by specialty at all. If I create a view, in the "search text" filter there isn't the option "title body and custom fields". I'm using Relevanssi pro and this custom field is set to be searched. Am I missing something?

Thank you,
Nicola

I've just solved the issue. I've found the field "title body and custom fields" in the query filter and now it's working. Anyway there's something wrong about this setting missing in the filter editor (where it should be, as explained here https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/searching-texts-custom-fields-views-relevanssi/).

Regards
Nicola
