Searching Custom Post Tyeps with Ajax Search Pro
{% endembed %}

```
Search Sources -> Post Type Search -> Search in custom post types
```

By default the plugin is configured to return Posts and Pages as results. Use the **Search in custom post types** drag and drop option to change that.

Custom post types (or CPT as shorthand) are **WooCommerce Products**, Portfolio Items, Books, Tutorials etc..

### Regular and Index Table engines

#### Regular Engine

When using the [Regular Engine](/general-settings/search-engine.md), then choosing the post types here is sufficient, no other configuration is required.

#### Index Table Engine

When using the [Index Table engine](/index-table.md), then make sure the selected post types on the search instance settings are also selected and indexed on the Index Table settings.

{% hint style="info" %}
For each search instance you can choose different post types to search for - but make sure all of these are also indexed on the index table settings.
