Redefines your tables styles. Not Good.
Installing this plugin will redefine your table styles, messing up the design of your website. Plugin should not be redefining basic tags like <tr> to support its search results page. I had to uninstall it.

Contains Unnecesary CSS
works well and does what it says, makes meta fields searchable which was great. Unfortunately the CSS file included reformats the look of admin and front end which is annoying and unnecessary and makes my products page messy as all the column widths are changed. i tried to clean it but then gave up and uninstalled to regain the correct display and will look for a better replacement

Exactly what I was looking for
It works as expected, hence the 5 stars rating. In the wishlist I would like an option to configure or filter where to look, if in pages, posts, sliders, etc. But anyway, it is great.
