Universal search which searches for all the Posts and CPT

[parth.nextbits]

I am also looking for the universal search which searches for all the Posts, CPT, etc

if we get any working example that would be a great help.

Also, when I add my home page URL in the state.source.homepage to ‘/home’ then search does not work, it just adds the search term in URL and loads the home page. If I remove state.source.homepage then search works but shows only posts and not my home page.

Check this answer

Show Custom Post Types and Pages in the search results on the TwentyTwenty Theme

Hi @d1cg018, Welcome to the Community! Here you have additional info on this topic: In the twentytwenty theme there’s an implementation of a search feature using WordPress engine (search links as ?s=anyKeyWord) Here you have the React components used for that Taking this into account, if you want to trigger an alternative search when your users go to these search links (?s=anyKeyWord or any other you may want to use), you can create a custom handler to perform alternative searches Here …

Regarding this

@parth.nextbits

when I add my home page URL in the state.source.homepage to ‘/home’ then search does not work, it just adds the search term in URL and loads the home page. If I remove state.source.homepage then search works but shows only posts and not my home page.

Can you check the following?

• your wp-source package version is 1.9.0 or higher
• If you have customized you state.source.homepage you have also provided a value for state.source.postsPage as they’re dependant with each other

If none of this work, can you please provide a repo or code-sandbox with your code? This is especially helpful to find solutions of technical issues with specific code

Thanks @juanma
I was able to create a custom page for search, as the default search not working as mentioned here Creating custom URLs for search results

Now, I would like to search through all Pages, CPT etc. as suggested by @mburridge I have installed this plugin too. but now in Frontity I have created below to get data of all CPT

const response = await libraries.source.api.get({
  endpoint: "multiple-post-type",
  params: { search: params.search, type[] : 'voice'}
});

Showing below error

As this does not allow to pass type[[ array as it was required by multiple-post-type plugin else getting below error in API

 {
	"code": "type_need_to_be_array",
	"message": "Type Param is a required parameter and needs to be an array:  &type[]=post&type[]=page&type[]=slideshow",
	"data": {
		"status": 422
	}
}

So, How can we achieve the same?
