How can I set up Meta Query in Query Loop so that Filter Search (with Live Search) looks **only** in two ACF text fields (first\_name and middle\_name) of my custom post type (dr)? I don’t want it to search in post\_title or post\_content. Thanks! 😊

In Filter - Search \> Post (Query search) \> disable “Search post fields”. Enable “Search post meta fields” and enter “first\_name” and “middle\_name”.
