No, it's not possible. The default advanced search form also does not search in all fields and the module is just another way of using the advanced search. The ability to add custom fields to the form is what allows you to search on those fields, otherwise, keyword text field and any other field would be overlapping.

Only simple search allows you to search on all fields, because there's no other field involved in the search.

Maybe that was confusing, but this is not something that can be easily changed.

This module is a great addition to JReviews, just what I need for my site. I have managed to adapt the html template to include four of my custom fields. However it displays the first five options in that custom field, resulting in this module taking up a large part of the front page all the time. I was wondering if it is possible to show the text "Select {custom field name} only, for each custom field, and then see all options once the dropdown arrow is clicked. As with the category field, which initially just show the text "Select Category". This would result in a more concise search module on the front page of my website

Are you talking about a multiple select list? If you go to modules and edit the module, read the instructions and you will find how to convert that field to a single select field.

Hey, is it possible to control the width of the select list and textfield? For some multiple option fields, I have values that are quite long, which cause the select list in the module to stretch out of the module. The textfield fits ok to the my template default's width, but stretched out a little in narrowed width.

So is it possible to set a fix width for these fields in the module?

Edit the module's customfield template, found in the module folder and style the input elements anyway you want.

Bcos I have tried things like <div style="width:140px;">{JR_SERVICESTYPE|S}</div> or <span> tags to control the width. And also used tables to manually sets width for cells, but none works. Do you have any suggestions?

Not that template, the customfields template. You will find there the code that generates the fields.

It works. If you put your mouse over Category Select List Settings you will read that it says:

Quote
These settings affect the category select list if present in the form.

Which means the filter only affects which categories are shown on the list. If you are not showing the categories, then they don't do anything. If you still want to filter by category or criteria without showing the category list, then you can add hidden fields to the form:

CATEGORIES:

Code:
<input id="categories" name="categories[]" value="14" type="hidden">
<input id="categories" name="categories[]" value="5" type="hidden">

CRITERIA:

Code:
<input id="criteria" name="criteria" value="14" type="hidden">

You just need to look at the source of the advanced search form and you can pretty much build forms anyway you want with this module. For the time being, I am not going to complicate the module with more settings.

This board is for the modules. I think your problem is with the custom fields, no? You should read the quick setup guide included in the zip file and also the documentation here:

If I'm editing an entry, an editor panel shows in the advanced search module as well.
