 * The WordPress Better Search plugin can’t find keywords in reviews (written via
   the WP Customer Reviews plugin) because the WP Customer Reviews plugin doesn’t
   use a public custom post type. This means any keywords written in the reviews
   can’t be searched for by users. 
   Is there any chance of updating WP Customer 
   Reviews to become compatible with users’ searches when sites use plugins like
   WordPress Better Search?AI explaining it:The WP Customer Reviews plugin stores
   reviews in a way that prevents the WordPress Better Search plugin from indexing
   or searching for keywords within those reviews. This issue happens because WP
   Customer Reviews doesn’t use a “public custom post type,” which means the content
   of the reviews is not accessible for search engines or other plugins like WordPress
   Better Search.The question is whether WP Customer Reviews could be updated to
   support compatibility with search plugins like WordPress Better Search, which
   would allow users to search for keywords within the reviews.
