    Hello,

    I'm wondering if there is a way to add hidden searchable text that the Genesis search engine would find? Can you do this with tags? Any help would be great.

    Thanks,
    Bob

    Genesis doesn't have a search engine. It's a WordPress extraction layer. The search engine is WordPress. WordPress searches text in the database that is in posts and pages, whether that text is hidden or not.

    If you include the sermon transcript as part of the page, WordPress will find it.

    Victor,

    Thanks. Does it search SEO metadata? I need this searchable text input to be simple (so anyone can do it) and not seen by the end user. Any recommendations?

    You would have to construct a custom query to include taxonomies and hook it into the WordPress pre_get_posts action. You can learn more about how the WordPress query works here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Query_Overview

    Be careful when creating a custom query, you can easily break other searches if you don't do this correctly. Custom queries can be quite complex. Showing you how to do it here is beyond the scope of the help I can provide as a volunteer. You may want to consider hiring a developer to help you, or looking for a plugin that can do this out of the box. I have no suggestions for this type of plugin. I always write my own custom queries.

    Regards,
