Can I search custom fields using the Advanced Search app?

Yes, you can search custom fields using the Advanced Search app, but with some limitations.

In version 2.0 of the app, custom fields can only be searched by keywords. For instance, if you want to find the word "Platinum" across all custom fields, simply enter "Platinum" in the search box. To search for multiple values, separate each keyword or phrase with a space. This allows you to search for terms like "Standard" and "Diamond" across different custom fields or even within the same field.
