I recommend Relevanssi for this. The advantage of using Relevanssi is that it pre-indexes your custom fields (and thus keeps your public searches up to speed).

Use your imagination expanding the following code sample:

function relevanssi_add_custom_fields( $fields )
{
	$fields = array(); // I like to start fresh
	$fields[] = 'text_field';
	$fields[] = 'people_0_firstname'; // meta key for 'firstname' field inside 'people' repeater.

	$fields = implode( ',', $fields );

	return $fields;
}
add_filter( 'option_relevanssi_index_fields', 'relevanssi_add_custom_fields' );
