Hi,

I was wondering the same thing and found the answer here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/78649/using-meta-query-meta-query-with-a-search-query-s

It has a few extra steps but gets the job done.

Also, I noticed a little hiccup in my case. When the search was supposed to return nothing, it returned all posts. I solved the problem by wrapping the loop between an IF statement, like:

if(!empty($unique)) {
//wp_query here
}

For some reason, wp_query was returning all posts when post__in was an empty array.

Hope that helps!
