[Resolved] How to customize search results page to only show pages with a featured image

[Jin]

I’ve tried to look for this and have read posts like this that talk about this problem, but only for Woocommerce.

I’d like to do two things:

1) Have the search results page only show pages (and not posts)
2) Have the search results page only show pages that have a featured image

Appreciate the the help. Thanks.

Hi there,

try adding this PHP Snippet:

function search_results_query( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_search && !is_admin() ) {
        $query->set('post_type',array('page'));
        $meta_query = array(
            array(
               'key'=>'_thumbnail_id',
               'compare'=>'EXISTS',
            ),
        );
        $query->set('meta_query',$meta_query);
    }
}

add_filter('pre_get_posts','search_results_query');
