Excellent Search, but…

The search works brilliantly, I’ve got no problems with that.

The problem I’m having at the moment though, is if I search for a PAGE that I know exists, the instant search reads it for a few characters but then goes to a load of blog posts by the time the search term is finished on input.

Originally it was configured to (checked to) show ‘All Posts’ – which worked fine, except that there were no options to show pages first.

However if I added ‘Pages’ into the mix, and a couple of custom post types, the instant search would stop working, and it would revert back to a WordPress search – where you’d need to type a search term, then click on it, then go through the pages it found… well you get the picture.

I’m very new to this system, so am I doing something totally wrong?

Thanks for any info.
