Hi
I’m using the latest version of WP and Geodirectory. I also have the advanced search plug-in enabled. However, when I use the standard search widget and search using phrases that appear in the place listings (i.e. I have a field called facilities which lists things like projector, stage, tables etc) the search results don’t return any places that have those words in the text.

Can you please advise? Indexing the words that appear as text in the listings is a pretty basic requirement of any search engine.

The GD search does not search any custom field. The search will only return those results if you added the custom fields to the advanced search.

If you post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply, together with the links to the relevant pages, we’ll review your settings and give you some more detailed advice if you like.
