@agn_woj99 Are you desiring to include only one custom field in the search, or are you thinking that the code we’ve been talking about would only add one at a time? I’m not sure which you’re asking, but the code I’m using (which is the same as what rocio1011 posted several times) is from this page: https://adambalee.com/search-wordpress-by-custom-fields-without-a-plugin/ (Be aware that you need to make a small change described in the last comment below the post to work with newer versions of WordPress.) This code causes the regular WordPress search to include custom fields, including even custom taxonomies, which was important for me. It includes all of them, not just one.

I’m still hoping someone will come up with code that can exclude media from the search results, but that’s a different issue.
