We are running a WooCommerce shop and have added an ACF field to all products and want to make this field searchable in the admin backend.

I found a forum-thread from 2018
https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/add-acf-fields-to-admin-search/
where the last entry refers to a plugin that is no longer available unfortunately.

Does anybody here have a recommendation or solution to set up admin search for ACF fields?

If you are looking for a plugin option, unfortunately it appears that all of the plugins that would do this are no longer maintained.

There are a multitude of coding examples available.
