 * I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but it doesn’t work at all for me. I’ve tried
   adding custom meta and just using categories but no matter which options I specify
   I get no search results.
 * Any ideas?

 * Can’t tell what is the problem from your question. There are so many causes.
 * Possibilities:
    1. You posts don’t have the custom meta and taxonomy that you
   created in search form. 2. Wrong post type choose. 3. Plugin conflict.

 * It was indeed a plugin conflict, specifically the search plugin Relevanssi. I
   guess I’ll look for another alternative for post sorting because Advance WP Query
   Search Filter has some great features I wanna keep.

 * sorry, made a big mistake,..after reading again, it was more simple than the 
   way i understood,
 * i check name and id (s)
 * and put <?php WP_Advanced_Search(); ?> after deleting all the <?php while ( have_posts()):
   the_post(); ?> loop
 * i’ll check if it works
