 * The products on our website have more than 10 arbitrary fields made via ACF.
   
   When users search for a wide query that can be contained in one of the fields,
   a bunch of results come out that they don’t need.
 * Is it possible to make several search forms on a separate page so that you can
   search for a specific arbitrary field point-by-point? In the documentation, I
   saw only different fields for different types of messages, but nothing is said
   about arbitrary fields there.

 * It is possible but slightly complicated. It’s easiest if you have Relevanssi 
   Premium, as Premium lets you [target specific parts of the post](https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/search-targets/),
   making it much easier to do a search that targets specific custom field.
 * With the free version, the best approach is to just search for all posts, then
   add a filter on the [`relevanssi_hits_filter`](https://www.relevanssi.com/user-manual/filter-hooks/relevanssi_hits_filter/)
   hook to weed out the posts where the search term doesn’t appear in the right 
   custom field. It’s not a convenient solution or the best for performance, but
   that’s what you can do with the free version.
