I didn't downvote you, but I guess it's because there're much better approaches to this, like using the posts_clauses and such pre-query filters, which will save you some queries.

Here's the code from my search.php file: pastie.org/private/jhgsmaolvjyswyhsfphlfa and here's the code from searchform.php: pastie.org/private/o3hrtqajh8hbkiht1nyoba | |

About the code usage, it depends on what really you need to achieve. Try it out with one custom field as is. If it works, then just add another 4 of the array('key' => 'field_to_seach', 'value' => $thesearch, 'compare' => 'IN') parts. Drop in if you need more help.

| Jun 9, 2012 at 15:33 | comment | added | 3ph | Hi Moraleida, thanks for the answer. I'll surely try it out. I don't know who down-voted the answer, but I can't even vote because my reputation is low as a newbie here. I'll try out the code that you've suggested. My search form has 5 drop-down fields with values for those 5 custom fields. Should I just use the form as-is, with you code above? | |
