Wordpress Extended Search Plugin
Did you know that the default WordPress search engine isn’t really that efficient (and awesome) as the rest of WordPress?

This means that if you have a custom post type as “Book” for a book review website, then the default search isn’t going to look there.

Control WordPress default search to search in Post Meta, Categories, Tags or Custom Taxonomies via admin settings using WP fastest site search. Admin can select meta keys to search in, also can control the default behavior of search in the post title or post content.
Install and activate the plugin to replace the default search bar. You can customize the appearance and the search behavior from the dashboard that comes with the plugin.
