```
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.

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.
