Comment:

 In [changeset:"55248" 55248]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="55248"
 Query: Add a `search_columns` argument to control which fields are
 searched in a search query.

 Previously, the `s` argument of the `WP_Query::parse_query()` method
 searched the `post_title`, `post_excerpt`, and `post_content` fields, with
 no way of controlling this apart from using the `posts_search` filter and
 adjusting the SQL manually. This changeset adds the ability to specify
 which fields are searched when performing a query, using the
 `search_columns` argument.

 Props johnbillion, birgire, petitphp, audrasjb, costdev, mukesh27.
 Fixes #43867.
