[wp-hackers] Include custom post type to search results

[Frank Bueltge]

Hi Dmitry,
I think there is a good question for a open forum, like
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/.
Is better to search about this topic for other users and maybe you get
earlier a answer.

But to your question.
I think the code to add the CPT to the search is right; only the hint,
exclude other conditionals, like preview or admin.
When init the function?Do you have the function and the add_filter() inside
a other function or method?

My example, works fine:
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'fb_add_to_query' );
// ads to query function
fb_add_to_query( $query ) {

    if ( is_admin() || is_preview() )
       return;

    if ( ! isset( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) )
        $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] = FALSE;

    // conditional tags for restrictions
    if ( $query->is_search && ( FALSE ==
$query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) )
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'recipes' ) );

    return $query;
}

Best
