shortcode main search engine

Hi @javi1

Thanks for your question!

Right now, the only fields that can be added to the Quick Search are the Regions and ZIP Code fields if you have those premium modules installed.

There are a few workarounds I can suggest here, however:

1. Use the Advanced Search shortcode [businessdirectory-search] instead. This page in our Knowledge Base shows you what that looks like by default, but you can affect the view with custom CSS and place that wherever you’d like on your site: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/quick-search-and-advanced-search/

2. I’ve seen users create the type of search they want using our search widget under Appearance > Widgets. You can choose the fields you want to search using that, then copy the code and place that where you’d like. Again, you will need to adjust appearance with custom CSS.

Here is an article about how to use custom CSS with Business Directory in a way that doesn’t get overwritten on upgrade of BD: https://businessdirectoryplugin.com/knowledge-base/how-to-use-custom-styles-with-bd/

I hope that helps!
