 * Search works for posts and pages, but ignores my portfolio CPT. Is there a way
   to include CPTs in the WordPress search?

 * The most typical reason for this is a post_type parameter that restricts the 
   post type of the search to posts and pages. First check that your custom post
   type is indexed in Relevanssi settings, then check that there’s no restricting
   post_type parameter.
