Using the JetSearch<\/em> <\/em><\/strong>plugin, you have an opportunity to display certain information from the meta fields of the posts in a search results area. In the Custom Fields<\/strong> section of the AJAX Search<\/strong> widget, you need to specify meta keys, and the particular data will be shown in the search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing Custom Fields <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

WordPress Editor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Open the page where the AJAX Search<\/strong> block is located. Then, click on the block to see the settings area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"page\n\n\n\n

First, specify the search areas (post types) in the Source <\/strong>field in the Search Query<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"ajax\n\n\n\n

Now uncover the Custom Fields<\/strong> tab. There are Show Meta Before\/After Title<\/strong> and Show Meta Before\/After Content<\/strong> options, which have the same settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can enable the appropriate option (options) for displaying extra information from the meta fields in the search results. Moreover, you can determine the position of the meta fields in the corresponding settings field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, proceed to create a meta fields list with as many items as you need, just clicking the \u201cAdd new item<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"ajax\n\n\n\n

Item #1<\/strong> appears by default, and you can customize it as necessary by clicking it. The settings windows will show up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Key<\/strong> field, you need to insert the meta key from the post meta table in the database. The Label<\/strong> option allows defining the label text. In the Value Format<\/strong> string, you can insert value format (using HTML markup), %s<\/strong> is meta value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use the Prepare meta value with callback<\/strong> option for the correct display of the date, URL, and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a _pricing <\/strong>meta field in our case, and we want to display its data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"ajax\n\n\n\n

Elementor Page Builder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The same settings are also available in the Elementor Page Builder. Proceed to the page built with Elementor and repeat the same steps described before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"ajax\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Check the Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Let\u2019s check how it works on the front end page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"results\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now you can easily display custom fields in the search results with the AJAX Search<\/strong> widget\/block from the JetSearch <\/em><\/strong>plugin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
