Hi David,
Do you have any indication when this fix will be officially released?
Thanks

I can confirm it works in the most recent versions of:
IE, Edge, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera.
Good job :thumbsup:

Thank you for your help.

Not sure what I am doing different.
Using a fully clean WordPress installation. Installed the Media Library Assistant via the add plugin button and enabled it.
I didn’t touch any settings after that (only enabled your debug settings for now)

Your array with search fields is different from a default setting.
In my array the alt-text is missing:

[07-Feb-2020 13:24:34 UTC] 37 MLA_Ajax::initialize( true ) $_REQUEST = array (
  'action' => 'query-attachments',
  'post_id' => '0',
  'query' => 
  array (
    'orderby' => 'date',
    's' => 
    array (
      'mla_filter_month' => '0',
      'mla_filter_term' => '0',
      'mla_terms_search' => '',
      'mla_search_clicks' => '1',
      'mla_search_value' => 'wordpress',
      'mla_search_fields' => 
      array (
        0 => 'title',
        1 => 'excerpt',
        2 => 'content',
        3 => 'file',
      ),
      'mla_search_connector' => 'AND',
    ),
    'order' => 'DESC',
    'posts_per_page' => '40',
    'paged' => '1',
  ),
)
[07-Feb-2020 13:24:38 UTC] 601 MLACore::mla_plugins_loaded_action() MLA 2.81 () mla_debug_level 0x3

Chrome itself sends the following to the server:

action: query-attachments
post_id: 0
query[orderby]: date
query[s][mla_filter_month]: 0
query[s][mla_filter_term]: 0
query[s][mla_terms_search]: 
query[s][mla_search_clicks]: 1
query[s][mla_search_value]: wordpress
query[s][mla_search_fields][]: title
query[s][mla_search_fields][]: excerpt
query[s][mla_search_fields][]: content
query[s][mla_search_fields][]: file
query[s][mla_search_connector]: AND
query[order]: DESC
query[posts_per_page]: 40
query[paged]: 1

I tested with Chrome (All plugins disabled) and Firefox (No plugins); same result.

So the data is already missing from the post itself.
Console confirms that the checkbox checked:

// ALT Text not checked:
jQuery('input[name="s\\[mla_search_alt_text\\]"]:checked').length;
0
// ALT Text checked:
jQuery('input[name="s\\[mla_search_alt_text\\]"]:checked').length;
1

My proces:
I used a clean install; PHP7.3, WP:5.3.2, MLA:2.81.
After the clean install:
Go to the Media Library en upload an image (flower.jpg);
Edit the image and fill in the ALT text field (1 word, for example: wordpress)
Go to the Media Library, search for “wordpress”, no results (as expected)
Check ALT text; search for “wordpress”, still no results.
Go to Media Libray Assistant; search for “wordpress”, no results (as expected)
Check ALT text; search for “wordpress”, 1 result.

At the Media Library page there are no errors with the Ajax calls.
When searching for the title (flower) it will show 1 result.

Thank you for your reply.
We will try this procedure and see if it solves this issue.
