I recently purchased a license and have encountered a few difficulties, though I've managed to find workarounds for them. I may provide more details on these issues later. 😅
For now, I'm writing to inquire about search functionality.
Is it possible to display STEC events in WordPress search results (outside of the plugin's built-in search)? This includes both the default WordPress search and any third-party search plugins that might be in use.
Since events are not created using standard WordPress posts, pages, or Custom Post Types (CPTs) in Full Site Editing (FSE) mode, integrating them into the main search results seems challenging given the current structure of the plugin. Many other event plugins (such as EventON) offer this capability.
Additionally, within the plugin's built-in search, how can I ensure that search results are found regardless of whether text accents are used? This is also a standard feature in many other search solutions.

Hi,
You should be able to see the events in your search results.
The events are custom post types of type "stec_event".
You can see the post type registered in file: /includes/posts/class.post-stec_event.php
register_post_type( self::$post_type, array( 'labels' => self::get_post_labels(esc_html__('Event', 'stec'), esc_html__('Events', 'stec')), 'rest_controller_class' => '\Stachethemes\Stec\Rest_Stec_Event_Controller', 'exclude_from_search' => false, 'public' => true, 'show_in_rest' => true, 'show_ui' => false, 'has_archive' => false, 'show_in_admin_bar' => false, // Elementor requires show_in_nav_menus to be true in order to display Events cpt as a condition 'show_in_nav_menus' => true, 'show_in_menu' => false, 'hierarchical' => false, 'can_export' => false, 'delete_with_user' => false, 'capability_type' => array('stec_event', 'stec_event'), 'capabilities' => self::get_post_capabilities(self::$post_type), 'map_meta_cap' => false, 'taxonomies' => array('stec_cal', 'stec_cat', 'stec_loc', 'stec_org', 'stec_gst'), 'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'custom-fields', 'author'), 'rewrite' => array('slug' => self::get_slug()) ) );---
About the built-in search - do you mean in cases like cafe should return café etc?

Hi Zhivko,
Excellent! Thank you very much, and sorry, I hadn't seen that it had created a CPT and I was able to include it in my search plugin.
For accents: yes, absolutely, and vice versa. Is it possible that I've missed something here too?
At the moment it's not possible but it will be added in 5.4.1.
