Can’t search within custom post type.

    In the backend I have a custom post type: portfolio items.

    When I try and search for a particular portfolio item (even by exact name) it won’t return any results. And if I click the search button again it sends me to the Posts page and tries to find posts with the term in it. Very odd. Any ideas? I have tens of portfolio items so I really need to be able to search within them.

    Just to be certain, it’s not set to “true” for “Exclude from Search” correct?

    Also do you have any custom usage of pre_get_posts action hook being used? There’s possibility that query customizations from those callbacks are affecting the searching, even in the WP Admin.
