Description
#43867 / [55248] introduced the 'post_search_columns' filter and 'search_columns' parameter to select which fields are searched by WP_Query, but this is limited to the 3 fields it searches by default, post_title, post_excerpt, post_content
.
If one wants to search an additional field, such as post_name
, you are required to use the SQL filters instead.
It would be helpful for WP_Query to be expanded to cover additional fields, where viable.
Additionally; as it currently searches a post meta field, it might be possible to additionally add that.
See https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13522 for an example of a SQL filter for this.
