I’m having an issue creating an ajax search on my single post pages. I need to limit the search results to the custom post types “fod_videos” and “post” and category 12. My issue is the search is returning all the posts under those filters and not taking the search value. I’m guessing I’m missing something obvious but I can’ figure it out. Here’s my setup.
I’m using bainternet’s method for searching custom post_types and it works great. However, I’ve recently been requested to return more than one “specific” post type and perhaps individual pages for a support section on our site.
So today I’ve decided to implement a search form onto my site that obviously returns a result when the user searches for it, but I’ve run into a little problem.
I’ve been playing around with code snippets which add meta data to admin searches.

I need to filter posts by a custom field value.
I’m trying to create a search results listing for a custom post type and the problem I’m running in to is with the way the ‘meta_query’ parameter is stringing the passed values together. It appears to be treating each ‘meta_query’ value as an ‘AND’ rather than ‘OR’. Here is the code I’m using:
I’d like to be able to enter a post ID into the search box in order for the exact post to be returned in the search results. I’d also like to retain the ability to search the posts/page titles and content.
I am using WordPress search to search a range of custom post types and allow the user to drill-down into each individual post type.
