 * Hi Kapil Chugh,
 * Great plugin, this was exactly what I was looking for and saved me a lot of programming.
   However when adding posts to a selection, the search function doesn’t seem to
   work. When I search on an excisting posttitle and press search I get a window
   with “Please enter search text”. Any ideas?
 * Cheers,
    Jeroen

 * I made a small adjustment to your code, because with the search results I got
   posts which are not published and got all post types, so I changed this:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wp_ajax_search_posts', 'mpo_search_posts' );
         function mpo_search_posts() {
           $_POST      = array_map( 'stripslashes_deep', $_POST );
   
           $search_str = $_POST['search_str'];
           $args = array('s' => $search_str);
           require_once ('show_posts.php');
           exit;
         }
       ```
   
 * To this:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wp_ajax_search_posts', 'mpo_search_posts' );
         function mpo_search_posts() {
           $_POST      = array_map( 'stripslashes_deep', $_POST );
   
           $search_str = $_POST['search_str'];
           $args = array('s' => $search_str, 'post_type' => 'post', 'post_status' => 'publish');
           require_once ('show_posts.php');
           exit;
         }
       ```

 * I think it happes by default ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’
 * isn’t?

 * No, not when you search, then you get all results (so also pages, not published
   posts and other post types).
