Add Custom Post Type Custom Fields to WordPress Search

Question

I've created a custom post type for a client (gravesite), and it has several custom fields to fill out ('bcva_branch_text', 'bcva_rank', 'bcva_start_serve', 'bcva_end_serve', 'bcva_dob', 'bcva_dod', 'bcva_cemetary', 'bcva_latitude', 'bcva_longitude').

The client wants these fields to be searchable, but I'm having trouble finding a way to do it. The WordPress Search will search the custom post type's title and 'editor' fields, but how do I get WP to search the added custom fields as well?

Thanks!

The Custom Fields Search plugin looks like it will do what you need. It seems to let you choose which custom fields will be included in search.
