Jamal and Christian helped me with this:

It works wonderfully. Unfortunately, the populated taxonomy value is also populating on the post type archive page for some reason. It is adding the taxonomy value of the first listed post. Is there a way to exclude that?

<meta name="addsearch-custom-field">

It sounds like you are trying to exclude some content from your custom header.php template on a post type archive. Is that correct? WordPress conditional tags might be useful here:

There is a conditional for post type archives:

Hi Christian,

That might work! I am not familiar with PHP, will you be able to assist me with the code?

Thanks!

Here is an example that outputs a meta tag if the current page is not an archive for post types 'post', 'book', or 'chapter':

if(! is_post_type_archive( array( 'post', 'book', 'chapter' ) )  ) {
  echo "<meta name='addsearch-custom-field'>";
}
