I want to combine a few exposed filters and only use one input box to search all their exposed filters. I do not wish to use Computed Field to gather all the exposed filters together since it stores things twice in the database. Any suggest?

Sorry, this cannot be done in Views at this time. It really requires a lot of extra search wizardry to do this right.

Actually, storing things twice in the database is actually your best option because searching across multiple fields is usually a very poor performer.

How would you use computed Field to gather all the info together? I have fields in 3 different content types I need to combine. Can I still use computed field? Or is it better to use hook_form_alter?
