[Resolved] How to include taxonomy terms in custom searches?

I have made a search function with views, but when people search, the criteria must match with the title. How can I make sure that when a user search, it can also match with the content and taxonomies?

I have made a filter-control for taxonomies, but it`s does not work so well since then the user needs to find the specific category.

[wpv-filter-start hide="false"]
[wpv-filter-controls]
<div class="form-group">
	[wpv-control-post-taxonomy taxonomy="category" type="select" default_label="Kategori" url_param="wpv-category"]
	[wpv-filter-search-box placeholder="Søk her" output="bootstrap" class="btn-large"]
  	[wpv-filter-submit name="Søk" output="bootstrap" class="btn-large"]
  [wpv-sort-orderby type="select" options="post_date,post_title,field-wpcf-view-count" label_for_post_date="Dato" label_for_post_title="Tittel" label_for_field-wpcf-view-count="Mest lest" orderby_as_numeric_for="field-wpcf-view-count" orderby_ascending_for="post_title" orderby_descending_for="post_date,field-wpcf-view-count"]
</div>
[wpv-filter-end]

Looking for a solution,

Hi Tom

The Views search (rather than filtering) uses the built-in WordPress search functionality, which only searches titles and, optionally, the post body.

You can use Relevanssi to also include taxonomies in the search. The expected use case in our documentation is to use it to include custom fields in searches, but it also works with taxonomies.

See https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/searching-texts-custom-fields-views-relevanssi/

Great, thank you. I had troubles finding out where "Custom fields" was, but that`s not your fault.
