    No, you don’t need Relevanssi Premium. You don’t actually need a search at all. What you really need is WP_Query. You can use WP_Query to fetch content by custom field, no need to get plugins or search involved.

    Bummer. I was hoping to simply create a few “deep links” for some specific searches without all the rigamarole of custom coding and queries. I was under the impression, based on reading some other posts here, that the kind of thing I was trying to do in my post was possible.

    Well, it is, but it requires a rigamarole of custom coding and queries, and there’s actually less custom coding involved, if you leave Relevanssi out of it.

    Also, if you just want simple links to content, then doesn’t this do exactly what you want:
