Hi,
I would like to submit a feature request, or maybe you can tell me if I am missing something that is already possible.
**My setup**
I have a custom post type called “Mitarbeiter” (employees/staff members) with a custom taxonomy called “Sachgebiete” (subject areas/topics). Each term in this taxonomy has synonyms. For example, the term “Buchhaltung” (accounting) should also match when a user searches for “Finanzen” (finance) or “Rechnungswesen” (bookkeeping).
Currently I store the synonyms in the native WordPress term description field as a workaround, which works but is not ideal.
**What I need**
I would like to store synonyms in a dedicated term meta field (added via ACF) on each taxonomy term, and have Ajax Search Pro use that field as a synonym or search source when searching in taxonomy terms.
Is this already possible in some way I am not aware of? If not, I would like to request it as a feature:
1. Search in term meta fields: Index and search custom fields attached to taxonomy terms.
2. Synonyms for taxonomy terms: Allow the synonym feature to work for taxonomy term searches, ideally with a term meta field as the source.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Peter
