How do I remove Pages from search?

Question

I don't need to search for pages in my site and only want to search posts, is there a way to do it? Thanks

Answer 1

The below should make the page post type no longer search-able.

function remove_pages_from_search() {
    global $wp_post_types;
    $wp_post_types['page']->exclude_from_search = true;
}
add_action('init', 'remove_pages_from_search');

Answer 2

The following in functions.php also works well:

//Remove pages from search results
function mySearchFilter($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set('post_type', 'post');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','mySearchFilter');

Answer 3

put this in your search.php

<?php if (is_search() && ($post->post_type=='page')) continue; ?>

right below this code -> <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
