Search only within posts in WordPress
If you only want search to look within posts and not in pages for a wordpress site, then a quick and easy way to be to add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file :
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'aa_search_query_vars'); function aa_search_query_vars($public_query_vars) { global $wp_query; if(is_search()) { $wp_query->query_vars['post_type'] = 'post'; } return $wp_query; }
