I agree that it is a shame this plugin isn’t in development any more. If it is any help I did find a similar plugin called Taxonomy Picker.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-picker/
Yep, this plugin looks promising, but I am not going to use it since its development has been stopped.
A shame…
I installed this plugin on WP 3.4 with the debug bar on – it fills the admin pages with lots of warnings, so is probably not something that should be used without some TLC.
Thanks for the information, I have decided to give it a try and I installed it. And I must say it performs its job better than plugins such as Relevanssi – in my particular case.
I do not need a dropdown like the one provided with the taxonomy picker plugin. I am looking for a search plugin that can index metafields. And one that allows me to add more than one search bar, targeting each one a different metafield.
At the moment, I haven’t found anyone that is better than WP Custom Fields Search.
Any suggestion?
try Search Everything plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-everything/
Search Everything increases the ability of the default WordPress Search, it includes the following options:
Search Highlighting
Search Every Page
Search Every Tag
Search Custom Taxonomies ( new )
Search Every Category
Search non-password protected pages only
Search Every Comment
Search only approved comments
Search Every Draft
Search Every Excerpt
Search Every Attachment (post type)
Search Every Custom Field (metadata)
Exclude Posts from search
Exclude Categories from search
Thanks eyeksoft.
It looks interesting too, but it doesn’t seems to have the possibility to add more than one search (i.e. each search filtered to one specific custom field).
While this old plugin does give you that option, which is what I am looking for.
