Exclude post_content from search

    Hi,

    I’m using ACF Better Search and it works great.
    My client has asked me not factor in ‘post_content’ when searching for results.
    This is pretty easily accomplished in wordpress with:

    add_filter('post_search_columns', function($search_columns) {
    // default ['post_title', 'post_content', 'post_excerpt']
    return ['post_title'];
    });

    However this seems to be overwritten by Better Search and post_content get searched.

    Is there any solution to this other than disabling the plugin?

    Hi @matthewmorete,

    Thank you for your message.

    I have prepared an update to the plugin that adds support for the post_search_columns filter. You can download the plugin update to version 4.3.1 now and test it.

    Then please let me know if everything works fine for you too.

    Best,
    Mateusz
