WP Tip - Exclude pages from search results

December 2nd, 2008 | Categories: WP Tips-Tricks | 132 views

If you intend to exclude pages from search results, you can use the Simply-Exclude plugin. However, another solution that works pretty well is to add a filter in functions.php to only include posts categories instead of excluding pages from search results:

function mySearchPostsFilter($query) {
if ($query->is_search()) {
$query->set('cat','12,14,16,17,18'); // your category IDs
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','mySearchPostsFilter');
