Custom Post Type Search with Repeater template is not working

Hi,

I am using the ajax-load-more plugin with a custom post type in the archive page.

Now I want to do a search of that same post-type’s data and list out the results in the same archive page, (compatible with repeater templates too).

I have written the code into my theme’s functions.php file but it doesn’t get any results when I search with a particular value.

Below is my code:

function meta_search_query($wp_query) {
	global $wpdb, $post, $wp_query;
	$query_args_meta = array(
	'posts_per_page' => 5,
	'post_type' => 'custom_posttyp',
		'meta_query'=> array(
			'relation' => 'OR',
			array(
				'key' => 'firstname',
				'compare' => 'LIKE',
				'value' => $_REQUEST['sterm'],
			),
			array(
				'key' => 'location',
				'compare' => 'LIKE',
				'value' => $_REQUEST['sterm'],
			),
			array(
				'key' => 'service_name',
				'compare' => 'LIKE',
				'value' => $_REQUEST['sterm'],
			),
		),
	);
	$wp_query->set('post_type', array('custom_posttyp'));
	wp_reset_query();
	wp_reset_postdata();
	return $wp_query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'meta_search_query');
## add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'meta_search_query');

Can anyone let me know why this doesn’t return any results?
