   I'm trying to this..

   function my_search_filter($where) {
   $where .= " AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = city AND wp_postmeta.meta_value ='Jakarta'";
   return $where;
   }
   
   if(is_search()) {
   add_filter('posts_where','my_search_filter');
   }

   but it does not work...

   any idea?

   Perhaps take a slightly different approach..
   

   add_filter( 'pre_get_posts' , 'add_meta_to_search' );
   function add_meta_to_search( $query ) {
   	if( $query->is_search ) {
   		$query->set( 'meta_key' , 'city' );
   		$query->set( 'meta_value' , 'Jakarta' );
   	}
   	return $query;
   }

   When you're checking is_search() you're actually at the point where the query is setup and ready to run, so the posts_where filter is too late in the process of things, so to speak.

   Hello,

   I am trying to do a similar task but using the LIKE term instead of an exact match on the meta_value.

   How should I go about that ?

   Thank you for your help.
