Request: Include meta data in search

    Really digging this plugin…it has saved me loads of time and frustration. ??

    My only real feature request would be to include meta data values in the search routine. (The “Admin Meta Search” plugin adds this functionality to the admin Posts panel, for example.)

    I have several posts with a meta key/value pair of “Prop”/”Christmas.” I need to change all instances of “Christmas” to “Winter.” It would be ideal to search for “Christmas” in the Bulk Editor, have all qualifying posts listed, then enter “Prop”/”Winter” and save the changes.

    Please consider adding this functionality. It would make an already good plugin even better. ??

    Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely consider it, but I just don’t have the space to be adding functionality to the plugin at this time. I think your best bet is to edit the db directly. You can download the adminer plugin to get access to the db and then just do a query like this:

    UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = 'Winter' WHERE meta_value = 'Christmas' AND meta_key = 'Prop'

    Easy-peasy ??

    No worries! I found a way to do what I needed, but the meta search would be a nice quality-of-life feature. ?? Thanks again!
