Post Meta Searcher Plugin

When activated, forces any WordPress Search Query to query against post meta data as part of the search criteria. This also enables you to search against custom fields without the need of specifying any meta keys.

For example, if you have a custom field named “Colour” or something similar on your posts, running a search for “Blue” will return any posts with “Colour” set to “Blue”. This is just one example. The plugin will work with any field.

1. Upload the post-meta-searcher folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

How do I use the plugin?

All you need to do is activate the plugin. Once activated, any WordPress Search Query that is made will also query against post meta as part of the search criteria.

How does the plugin work?
