Add Post Kinds fields to WordPress Search

Filed an Issue dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds (GitHub)
adds support for responding to and interacting with other sites using the standards developed by the Indieweb Community
I’ve noticed that the built-in WordPress site search is generally abysmal because so much of the content of my site is handled by Post Kinds and the search doesn’t look through any of the common Post Kinds data fields. 

As an example, trying to search for watches of particular television shows I know I’ve watched don’t show up because I leave those post title-less and don’t specifically tag them.

Is there something in the codex that will allow you to hook these fields into WP’s internal search?
