将参数传递给搜索结果

Question

I am creating a search function for a custom post type on my wordpress site, and I need to filter out search results based off an ACF True/False field. I have to use WP_Query to pass arguments since the generic wordpress loop does not allow that, but when I use WP_Query the query returns all the posts based on the arguments I passed, and disregards the actual search term.

<?php $args = array( 
  'post_type' => 'work',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
  'meta_query' => array(
    array(
      'key' => 'work_hidden',
      'value' => '0',
      'compare' => '=='
    )
  )
); 

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : 
  while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
    $the_query->the_post();
    include "partials/work-card.php";
  } 
endif; ?>

How can I use WP_Query to include the search term and the arguments.

Thanks so much!

First the 'compare' when you want equals in SQL MUST be a single '=';

Next you have to put the search parameter as from the Documentation, assuming is $_GET['search']:

$args = array( 
    'post_type' => 'work',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    's' => $_GET['search'],
    'meta_query' => array(
         array(
            'key' => 'work_hidden',
            'value' => '0',
            'compare' => '='
        )
    )
);
