Search.php – to search pages too…?

Try this in your theme’s functions.php

Making sure the code goes inside the PHP tags.

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts' , 'switch_search_to_pages' );
function switch_search_to_pages( $query ) {

	if( $query->is_admin )
		return $query;

	if( !$query->is_search )
		return $query;

	$query->set( 'post_type' , 'page' );

	return $query;
}

great! it worked.

thanks ??

You’re welcome.. ??

Hello,

How should we go about searching both the posts and pages ?

It says that by default WP does that, newer than 2.5, but it doesn’t seem to work for us.

Are you able to help ?

WordPress searches posts and pages by default.
