Backend search and Advanced Custom Fields v5 not working

    I have Relevanssi activated on the backend. Using ACF, posts have a relationship customfield. Typing into the search box for this field on the backend used to list the relevant posts OK (on ACF 4.x and previous). Now it always says ‘No matches’.

    ACF support say Relevanssi is ‘interfering’ with their search but I have no idea what to look for to help find the problem. Any clues?

    This will become more of a problem for more people when ACF release the free version of ACF 5 so needs sorting now and I’ve put it on this open forum as well as contacting you direct as I have Relevanssi Pro (which shows the same problem).

    I can provide you with a test site with just ACF 5 and Relevanssi 3.3.7.1 if that would help.

    Add this function to the functions.php to make it work:

    add_filter('relevanssi_admin_search_ok', 'rlv_acf_related_search');
function rlv_acf_related_search($search_ok) {
    if (DOING_AJAX) $search_ok = false;
    return $search_ok;
}

    An update in case anyone using the latest update (v4.4.1) of the free Advanced Custom Fields plugin lands here.

    The problem with backend use of Relevanssi shows itself with this version of ACF [it didn’t show it for us on v3).

    The above fix from Mikko seems to work OK at least if you are using ACF v4.4.1

    Thanks again Mikko.
