<p>Enhance the default WordPress admin search by including custom fields (post meta) in search results.<br />
This plugin seamlessly extends the post listing (edit.php) search functionality, allowing administrators to quickly find content based on values stored in custom fields.</p>
<p>It works out of the box with no configuration required—just activate and start searching.<br />
Especially useful for sites that rely heavily on custom fields, such as those built with ACF or other meta-based data structures.</p>
<p>Lightweight, efficient, and fully integrated with the native WordPress admin experience.</p>
