I’m using elementor and I’d like to add taxonomy term name in the search form.

eg there’s a taxonomy called “features” with the slug “listing_features” and one of the terms is “gym”.

I want to type “gym in the search form and return posts that include gym as a taxonomy.

chatgpt gave me this as a solution but it doesnt seem to work…

function extend_search_to_include_taxonomies( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_search && !is_admin() ) {
        $query->set( 'tax_query', array(
            'relation' => 'OR',
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'category',
                'field'    => 'name',
                'terms'    => $query->query_vars['s'],
                'operator' => 'LIKE'
            ),
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
                'field'    => 'name',
                'terms'    => $query->query_vars['s'],
                'operator' => 'LIKE'
            )
        ));
    }
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'extend_search_to_include_taxonomies' );
