exclude from search: false = not working

Can you paste me the blob of content from the CPTUI > Tools menu and the Post Type tab? I’d like to review all of the settings, and see if I can recreate on my own.

Hi Michael,
i hope thats what you need:

		### End Debug Info ###
				

wasn’t quite, but coincidentally this also has the exact same information I was wanting, so definitely good enough.

Stay tuned

Hmm. So I imported you settings, and created a quick post in the post type with a title of “Shorty”.

Did a search for it via mysite.com/?s=shorty and it showed up in the results.

Do you have any other plugins/customizations around searching on the site that may be interfering here? Or perhaps a 3rd party search integration like Algolia/ElasticSearch/etc ? SearchWP?

By default, I believe WordPress does a search in the post content and post title. Which explains why mind came up with a result.

Thanks for the quick reply.
That is strange.

My custom posts have no content.
I only use the title and post image >> https://nimb.ws/eycxOl

Additionally a few fields via ACF.
>> https://nimb.ws/ehZU8I

The Custom Posts are completely empty when I preview them. They only consist of header and footer.
>> https://nimb.ws/6mhMjn

Maybe WordPress recognizes that these page are not useful and doesn’t show them in the search results?

Edit:
And no, I didn’t do any other plugins or anything with the search function. The installation is pretty fresh.

WordPress search, from what I’ve always seen is pretty non-opinionated. It’s not going to in some way judge “worth” or “usefulness”. Just a matter of “does the title or content area have the searched term anywhere in them? Yes! show it. No! Move on to the next thing”

What comes up, if anything, for a search of beinpresse.

Also is it possible that your search results template isn’t completely created yet? Perhaps you are getting results, but it’s just not coded out correctly to show the results themselves?

Thank you very much! There was the error.
I have a filter in the search results output that says only WP posts should appear and no custom posts.

Thanks for the great help!

Welcome. Glad you got this working now.
