Search multiple custom post types with tags

You can use filters to create custom search querys add_filter(‘posts_join’, ‘forum_search_join’) add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘forum_search_where’); http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_where http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_join

Returning the entire line of a custom search result filter

Well you can try to do while(have_posts()) – a standard query loop in your search page.

Incorrect search results in search.php – issue triggered by using `define(‘BodyID’, ‘search’); the_post();` in search.php

You should call the_post only inside the loop, or call rewind_posts() before actually starting the loop. sidenote: you are doing it totally wrong. don’t reinvent the wheel, look in the codex how to write a theme or use one of the bundled default themes as a base to your theme. No sane person starts to … Read more

I want to edit the search function

Basically everything query-related is in wp-includes/query.php. Search for the parse_search function in that file and the posts_search and posts_search_orderby filters.
