Meta fields starting with an underscore being ignored

    Hi,

    I have noticed meta fields starting with an underscore are not being indexed. In dashboard_settings.php they are being filtered out with:
    HAVING meta_key NOT LIKE ‘\_%’

    As far as i know there is no restriction on WP meta fields starting with an underscore.

    What is the reason for this and can I disable this ‘filter’?

    Thanx.

    They are usually technical fields, with ugly names.

    How to display those fields in facets ?

    Hi, thanx for your reply.

    Sure, they could be technical fields (or not). But shouldn’t the choice to index them or not be left to the user (admin)? That is what this option is for.

    I’m saying this because there are quite some custom meta field classes out there that underscore the fields they generate.

    Done.
