Custom Post Types

ccjeagle, what fields are you searching of Pods? Are you using the meta-based CPT or did you choose table-based storage?

Hi ccjeagle, this plugin basically does not modify the search query at all (only when using post_date and post_type it does) – the search term is then put in the url like

www.yoursite.com/?s=search+term

WP then picks up this term and handles it using its default behaviour for searching – so you should be able to use it in conjunction with any plugin that modifies the WordPress search.

I’m guessing your using PODS (after a quick look) to set up some custom content types and fields? In that case you will probably want to use a plugin like Relevanssi – Relevanssi allows you to search in custom fields so shouldn’t be too hard to set up – I have this set up on one of my own websites no problem ??

Hi Scott, I use meta-based CPT.

Hi DesignsAndCode,

I also tried some other plugins. Relevanssi- if you force AND in option, nothing will be found. Search Everything- can search meta-based custom fields but is not friendly for double-byte wording when highlight the keyword in result.

I like Search & Filter because I have two custom taxonomies as criteria and it works exactly what I want. The only thing I found is it seems not searching my custom fields (meta?), yes, the same as WP default search.

Anyway, I’ll continue trying to see if there is any other solution. It seems in Pods I need to do something manually via page/template so maybe I’ll leave it later. Thanks.

Hi DesignsAndCode,

I got your point now. I can combine any other plugins that modify WP search with YOURS. Just tried Search Everything again and search from Search & Filter, and it did work!! So I can have the advantage from both plugins. I believe Relevanssi will be the same.

Really appreciate your feedback!

No problem glad you got it working the way you want ??
