Put the following code in the Code section:
add_filter( 'jet-search/ajax-search/search-by-post-id', '__return_true' );Once done, press the “Save Changes and Activate” button.
Add Ajax Search to the Page
If you haven’t put the search on the needed page/template, navigate to its editor.
For instance, we go to WordPress Dashboard > Crocoblock > Theme Builder and press the “three dots” and “Edit content” buttons next to the built header.
In the opened editor, add the Ajax Search widget/block/element to the page.
