    The default search is for posts. If you want to search for something else, you are better off implementing a separate search functionality independent of the default search. If you want to intersperse your results with posts found, you are still looking at two separate searches. The results can be interspersed with template code.

    The pagination of two different interspersed searches gets messy. You are really better off with completely separate search functions.
