    Hello Joomlart,
    I am using Ja k2 search module in our website. Issue is that it does not search extra fields value.

    As an example. If i put the word “Albury” in the keyword input field and click search, it does not display any result. Where “Albury” is set as a value in extrafield “city”

    Please reply immediately.
    Kind Regards

    Hello,

    I have just installed the latest version of JA K2 Filter (version 1.0.6) for your site, in new version, we have added again “Extra Field Search” field in the list of field where keyword search will search in.

    Please test again with “Albury” keyword, it returns 4 items in result now.

    FYI: as you know, in K2 item table it has 2 fields are “extra_fields” and “extra_fields_search”
    – a “extra_fields” field is used to store full data of extra fields’ value, and data is encoded in json format. Keyword search will not search in this field, and if you want to search exactly in specific fields, you need enable these extra fields on search form.
    – a “extra_fields_search” field will store data in plain text format, and Keyword search will search in this field (as normal search of K2 component does). But in this way, you can not search exactly by extra fields information, so we suggest you to enable form field for extra fields that you want to search in, it will help to get search result more correctly.
