Hi, thanks for the answer. Your solution has fixed the problem but I notice a strange behaviour.

Essentially, if I remove this line:

$query->query_vars[‘s’] = ”;

I doesn’t get any result. I would like to return all the posts which contains a certain meta, and also match as title or content the searched term.

Is there something else broken in my code?

Hi, I’m trying to include in the WordPress search the repeater field, essentially I have this situation:

There is a cpt called “service” which can have multiple “doctor” (cpt), each “doctor” is associated through the repeater field “medici”, infact if I inspect the postmeta table I have this:

as you can see I have a list of ids in the “medici” meta_key.
So suppose that I have this situation: a “service” with post_title “lorem ipsum”, to this “service” are linked a list of “doctor” eg: (paolini, rossi, mario). I would like that if I search for “paolini”, I will get the “lorem ipsum” post.

So I wrote this code:

`
function add_acf_to_search( $query ) {
if( $query->is_search ) {
$query->set( ‘meta_query’, array(
‘relation’ => ‘OR’,
array(
‘key’ => ‘medici’,
‘value’ => $query->query_vars[‘s’],
‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’
)
));
}
}
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘add_acf_to_search’ );
`

the problem’s that if I search for a “doctor” linked to a “service” I doesn’t get any result.

Any idea?

PS: I don’t want use any plugin.
