CONTENT BOUNDARY
ACF: Better Search capabilities and translation scope are documented separately.
The available evidence documents plugin functionality, but does not currently establish a specific visitor-facing translation surface.
Functional capability alone is not treated as evidence that a value should be translated.
LIMITATIONS & QA
Verification notes
- Search behavior is limited to the selected Advanced Custom Fields fields described in the plugin evidence. The available evidence does not establish support for other content types, translation handling, or any admin-only, exclusive, or complete coverage claims. Phrase searching and field-type handling are described only for the field types listed in the evidence.
