Taxonomy is not searchable

    Hi, I created a Taxonomy for a bookstore with the name book_author

    I use this snippet to display the book author below the summary of single product and it is working fine.

    add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'show_info_below_single_product_summary', 20 );
function show_info_below_single_product_summary() {
     the_terms( $post->ID, 'book_author', __("<div class='book_author'>Book Author:","storefront-child") , ', ', '</div>' ); 
     echo $post->ID;
}

    My problem is that I am getting zero results when I am searching for a book author.

    Is there any way to make this taxonomy searchable?

    Thanks

    Nothing like that available with CPTUI itself, as we don’t dictate or change how WordPress does its searches. By default, I believe it only searches the post title, post content, and post excerpt.

    You’d need to get some custom coding in place to amend that, or alternatively it looks like https://searchwp.com/ has the ability to search taxonomy terms and the like. Worth exploring and checking out.

    Thanks for the reply Michael. I used Search Everything plugin and now I am also getting the taxonomies in my results. So problem solved ??
