### 󠀁[Nice and flexible ACF add-on!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-and-flexible-acf-add-on/)󠁿

 [Olaf Lederer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/finalwebsites/) September 6, 2018

I used the “other” ACF search add-on during the last year and tried this one last
week. I really like the feature that I can choose the fields where I like to search
in. I use ACF for many different posts and I need to search only in a few fields.
The ACF search plugin provides this freedom, dankjewel! One suggestion: Add the 
name of the ACF group name to each check box or “group” them together. Now I needed
to check the field name first (in a second browser tab) to be sure that I’ve checked
the good field names.

Installed, went to settings to save the custom fields needed to search, would not
save the custom fields to search in.

Works, but disrupts the backend search.
