Hi, I've set up a view to display a custom post type called Clinician: hidden link

There is a text search setup as a filter to search by clinician name (post title). They want to extend the text search to search other fields like specialty (custom field), suburb (custom field). I know the text field only searches post title and post description by default. Is there anyway to extend this so that the text field searches other custom fields too, without having to setup separate filters?

Cheers
Aaron

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can use the "relevanssi" plugin with which we have integration to search in custom fields.

Please note that only the following type of fields are supported:
- Single line
- Multiple line
- WYSIWYG
