Let me explain what my intension is.. :)
I want to have single search field which takes data from multiple content types and display accordingly. I assume I have to create a new Search Type but when I select search type i have to select from which content.
I have noticed that there are few plugins I can purchase like SQL Query or different tables. But I dont know which one exactly does my job as most of those plugins doesnt have explanation (plugins are great but an idiot like me prefer to have some more information :D ).

What I'm after is similar to this search field (https://library.unsw.edu.au/) its sort of single search field that takes from multiple content types also inside of that content type, it should take all the fields values during the search.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Thanks all
Hi
I have not tried this but use
SEARCH GENERIC (which comes in core now)
and info from these links:
search-across-multiple-content-types-with-search-generic-plugin
creating-a-list-that-searches-accross-multiple-content-types
search-multiple-conten-types-doesn-t-work

Thank you for the post bucklash.
Yes I managed to resolve this problem using generic field. Amen to that field. Also manage to get all the categories including other content types as well. its really good one.
