multiple search forms with custom custom post type type

Hi,

I’ve successfully added a custom post type (people) to the main search form for my site, by adding this function in my child theme:

———————–

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'tgm_io_cpt_search' );
/**
 * This function modifies the main WordPress query to include an array of 
 * post types instead of the default 'post' post type.
 *
 * @param object $query  The original query.
 * @return object $query The amended query.
 */
function tgm_io_cpt_search( $query ) {
	
    if ( $query->is_search ) {
	$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'people', 'post', 'pages' ) );
    }
    
    return $query;

—————-

Unfortunately it overwrote the other search form I’m using in the people section. I want that search form to pull in the people post type only. currently both search forms are now pulling in ( ‘people’, ‘post’, ‘pages’ ). I used Ivory search to create the people search.
