You can enforce a post type per callback on pre_get_posts
:
is_admin() || add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function( \WP_Query $query ) {
$post_type = filter_input( INPUT_GET, 'post_type', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
if ( $post_type && $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search() )
$query->set( 'post_type', [ $post_type ] );
});
If that still includes other post types, you have a second callback registered on that hook. Try to find it; it might be a theme or plugin.
