Tareq Hasan | Hello Support, I have a form that includes many custom fields. The form, upon submittal, creates a page just fine! And the custom fields appear on the page. However, when I do a normal Wordpress search for a term that is within the custom field, the search feature cannot see these custom fields. Is there another more powerful search plugin I should be using? Thanks, Carol |

Mahi | can you share your site url? then it would be easier to point light in to right direction. You can set private reply if you want. |

Mahi | Carol, for custom fields search it will not works with default WordPress search function. you have to use either more advanced search plugin or build own. some free plugins: – http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-everything/ (try it first) – http://wordpress.org/plugins/relevanssi/ Premium: Search widget – http://wedevs.com/plugin/advanced-search-widget/ |

Carol | Hi Mahi, One other question: Are the custom fields in the page record, or are they kept in a separate area of the database? Carol |
