      In a custom post type, I have several fields that have been created.
      I feel difficult to retrieve the information, the search field is only to search the title of the post. I would like to locate the post looking for information in any field. On my system the posts are private, so the location of the records is always done on the back end.

      Hi Fernando!

      Extending the built-in WordPress search to scan beyond the defaults is currently outside of the scope of Piklist. I strongly recommend looking into SearchWP as it’s a great plugin that does exactly what you’re looking for.

      Thank´s Jason.
      I took a look at plugin.
      For my purpose, the system manages information in the admin. The custom posts types are private.
      One of the great advantages of piklist is creating fields, so I thought that the location of records, based on information from these fields would be useful.
      Something that would make the location of the fields in metaboxes, but on the back end.
      Extending standard functionality, to locate and filter.

      Jason,
      This solves the search in the backend and finds the information in the fields created.
