WPS Post Type Search creates a simple search widget that allows users to predefine the post types they wish to search via checkboxes. This widget adds no additional styling or javascript to your site leaving you in full control. In the widget settings, you choose from the public post types that you would like users to be able to search. If none are selected, the search widget defaults to just posts (and not pages).

Pollux allows you to easily add custom Post Types, Taxonomies, Meta Boxes, Global Settings, Archive Page meta, and more…all within mere minutes.
Instead of drag-and-drop, all configuration is added using simple <a href="https://learn-the-web.algonquindesign.ca/topics/markdown-yaml-cheat-sheet/#yaml" rel="nofollow ugc">YAML</a> markup on the Pollux settings page.
Pollux uses the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/meta-box/" rel="ugc">Meta Box</a> plugin to add custom meta-boxes. If the Meta Box plugin is not installed, Pollux will prompt you to do so on the Pollux settings page.
Please see the <a href="https://github.com/pryley/pollux/wiki" rel="nofollow ugc">plugin wiki</a> for complete examples on how to use YAML markup in the plugin. Once you’ve used it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it!
Pollux was made to complement themes built on the <a href="https://github.com/pryley/castor-framework" rel="nofollow ugc">Castor framework</a> (i.e. <a href="https://github.com/pryley/castor" rel="nofollow ugc">Castor</a>), but it can be used with any theme.
