This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user has a views parametric search with a search box, however the search box is not searching through custom fields.
Solution:
It is quite possible that you only told your search to Search through the post Title and content.
However on the filter query for your search box you should set it to the option "Title, Body and Custom fields"
This way your search will look at the custom fields as well

Hi Katja,
I see the issue now.
You only told your search to Search through the post Title and content. See Screenshot
I've updated this so that it searches through the custom field as well.
It should now be working.
Thanks,
Shane
