 * It is clearly that the author has abandon this plugin. It is such a shame that
   this great plugin has been abandoned. Anyone here know the alternative of this
   plugin? Or, perhaps some expert here tried to customize this plugin to make it
   compatible to the latest version of wordpress?

 * I agree that it is a shame this plugin isn’t in development any more. If it is
   any help I did find a similar plugin called Taxonomy Picker.

 * Yep, this plugin looks promising, but I am not going to use it since its development
   has been stopped.
 * A shame…

 * I installed this plugin on WP 3.4 with the debug bar on – it fills the admin 
   pages with lots of warnings, so is probably not something that should be used
   without some TLC.

 * Thanks for the information, I have decided to give it a try and I installed it.
   And I must say it performs its job better than plugins such as Relevanssi – in
   my particular case.
 * I do not need a dropdown like the one provided with the taxonomy picker plugin.
   I am looking for a search plugin that can index metafields. And one that allows
   me to add more than one search bar, targeting each one a different metafield.
 * At the moment, I haven’t found anyone that is better than WP Custom Fields Search.
 * Any suggestion?

 * try Search Everything plugin:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-everything/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-everything/)
 * Search Everything increases the ability of the default WordPress Search, it includes
   the following options:
 *  Search Highlighting
    Search Every Page Search Every Tag Search Custom Taxonomies(
   new ) Search Every Category Search non-password protected pages only Search Every
   Comment Search only approved comments Search Every Draft Search Every Excerpt
   Search Every Attachment (post type) Search Every Custom Field (metadata) Exclude
   Posts from search Exclude Categories from search

 * Thanks eyeksoft.
 * It looks interesting too, but it doesn’t seems to have the possibility to add
   more than one search (i.e. each search filtered to one specific custom field).
 * While this old plugin does give you that option, which is what I am looking for.
