Body: <p>We had an issue with the addresses of our contacts, so for now we added a temporal custom field that saves the province of that contact, so we can easily filter them. The thing is that when I do an advanced search filtering for that field, it doesn't show any results. What could be the problem?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
