Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Plugin changes all SQL queries by extending the standard search to selected fields of Advanced Custom Fields.
It works for WP_Query class.
Everythings works automatically. For custom WP_Query loop and get_posts() function also if you add Search Parameter.
Yes. The plugin works same as for the search page.
Our plugin supports the following fields: Text, Text Area, Number, Email, Url, File, Wysiwyg Editor, Select, Checkbox and Radio Button. All these fields may be located in both the Repeater or Flexible Content field.
The default search in WordPress is to search for each of words listed. This feature allows you to search for occurrences of the whole phrase entered in the search field without word division.
In this mode, the plugin does not check the field types. Phrases are searched in all ACF fields. Thanks to this, the query to the database is smaller and faster by about 25%. However, we do not have control over which fields are taken into account when searching.
Advanced Custom Fields in version 5 (also free). ACF below version 5 has a different data structure in database and is not supported.
