Excluding Posts Types and Pages from your search filter is actually pretty easy especially when your website is a blog with a post type you don’t want to be displayed in your search results.
In order to do so, we’ll need the pre_get_posts filter. Here’s the function we’ll need to inject into our functions.php file·
Excluding Post Types and Pages from Search Results
function ViaSearchFilter($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set('post_type', 'post');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','ViaSearchFilter');We’re making sure that the pre_get_posts filter runs only with the $query variable only specifiying the Search Query within the condition.
At a later time, we’ll take a look at other ways to exclude the Posts Types from the Search.
