Build in search modal

Hi there,

By default, the built-in search only returns results from posts and pages. However, this can be changed — let us know what other content types (like products, or custom post types) you’d like to include in the search results.

For WooCommerce products, I think they’re usually included in search results by default also. You can use this snippet to include other post types as well:

function include_custom_post_types_in_search($query) {
    if ($query->is_search && !is_admin()) {
        $query->set('post_type', array('post', 'page', 'your_custom_type'));
    }
    return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'include_custom_post_types_in_search');

Just replace your_custom_type with your actual custom post type slug.

Curious though — what’s the reason you want to include Elements in the search results?

I would like to be able to search all the posts that are generated via ACF…

I’m not sure what this means… posts are posts, are they not the post post type?

Do you mean the values of ACF custom fields assigned to a post types?

If so, unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible.

No problem 🙂
