@unloft hi there, would you be able to describe the issue you're having a little more clearly? Thanks

When researching a word or combination of words all works. The Articles in fact returning with my search terms found in the titles or in the markdown of my articles. But the search does not work when using apostrophe words.as for example in Italian -> "d'amore" "does not work transforms the word in -> "dand 39 amore" or the word in English, "I'm" turned it into -> "Iand 39 m" This is my first mistake. The second problem concerns the possibility to also include the custom_fields in research. I tried to follow the commit #248 but does not work in my case.

Sorry for my confused explanation .

Hi this is my way for fix one problem: Search in custom fields text In this case i make a where clause for search only when a custom field have a specific id : ->where(Base::table('post_meta.extend'), '=', '126');
(in my case this id is a custom author field named book_author)

the code for search in custom_filed (text): anchor/models/post.php

`public static function search($term, $page = 1, $per_page = 10) {

	$query = static::left_join(Base::table('users'), Base::table('users.id'), '=', Base::table('posts.author'))
		->where(Base::table('posts.status'), '=', 'published')
		->where(Base::table('posts.title'), 'like', '%' . $term . '%')
		->or_where(Base::table('posts.html'), 'like', '%' . $term . '%');
	if ($query->count() == 0) {
		$query = static::left_join(Base::table('users'), Base::table('users.id'), '=', Base::table('posts.author'))
		->left_join(Base::table('post_meta'), Base::table('post_meta.post'), '=', Base::table('posts.id'))
			->where(Base::table('post_meta.data'), 'like', '%' . $term . '%')
			->where(Base::table('post_meta.extend'), '=', '126');
	}
	$total = $query->count();  

	$posts = $query->take($per_page)
		->skip(--$page * $per_page)
		->get(array(Base::table('posts.*'),
			Base::table('users.id as author_id'),
			Base::table('users.bio as author_bio'),
			Base::table('users.real_name as author_name')));

	foreach ($posts as $key => $post) {
		if ($post->data['status'] !== 'published') {
			unset($posts[$key]);
		}
	}
	if (count($posts) < 1) {
		$total = 0;
	}
	
	
	return array($total, $posts);
	
	}`
