not working for custom post type post search

Hi,

If you are searching for custom post types you will need to add a hidden input to the search form. It should be set up as follows:

Data Type = Post Type
Widget = Hidden Constant
Compare = Equals
Constant Value = <your-post-type>

Without this, by default the search will be limited to only posts of type “post”. <your-post-type> should be the post type as it is stored in the post_type field in the database.

If you’re not sure what the post_type value is you could change the Compare to “Words In” and leave the Constant Value blank. This is a bit hacky, but will work for now.

Tried as you said above but it doesn’t work with my custom post type.
I am using classipress. Pls see https://www.PuraniCar.com

I am able to search on all “regular” post fields, but if I set Data Type = Custom field instead, the result always returns no search results.

In my case, the generated query has
ORDER BY meta2.meta_value
which needs to be
ORDER BY meta102.meta_value

I got it working by changing line 972 of extra_search_fields.php from
$order=$this->joiner->sql_order($order,$this->name,$this->index,$value,$this->comparison);
to
$order=$this->joiner->sql_order($order,$this->name,100+$this->index,$value,$this->comparison);
but I am not sure if that is the correct solution.
