Sorry my bad, just checked out, 

When you create a new field for the topic, for example dropdown or radio you can see an option saying` Is Searchable?, by enabling that option the field will also be available in the search page.

TCF Addon is for adding custom fields in topics not in search bar

Yet when I go to the search page, I don't have an option to filter by topic custom fields

These are the plugin versions I'm currently using
