    'post_type' => 'store',
    'meta_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'OR',
        array(
            'key' => 'postal_code',
            'value' => $keyword,
            'compare' => 'LIKE'
        )
    )
);

Answer 1

Have you check your result-set, what result you are getting in $query obj. another thing, there is no need to use 'relation' => 'OR', in meta query array, have a try with this as well. And instead of 'numberposts' use 'posts_per_page' this will help. :) or you can remove the meta_query and make your $arg something like

$args = array( 's' => $keyword, 'post_type'=> 'store', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'meta_key' => 'postal_code', 'meta_value' => $keyword, 'meta_compare' => 'LIKE' );
