Yes, the Swiftype WordPress plugin supports filters that allow you to customize what is returned with search results.

To search only the “post” type, add this filter to your **`functions.php`** :

```auto
function swiftype_search_params_filter( $params ) {
    // set the types to allow
    $params['filters[posts][object_type]'] = array( 'post' );

    return $params;
}

add_filter( 'swiftype_search_params', 'swiftype_search_params_filter', 8, 1 );

```

To limit autocomplete results to only the “post” type, add this action to change the autocomplete JavaScript configuration to your **`functions.php`** (take care to change the\*\*\<?php ... ?\>\*\* nesting as appropriate for your **`functions.php`** file):

```auto
function swiftype_javascript_config() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var swiftypeConfig = {
  filters: {
    posts: {
      object_type: ["post"]
    }
  }
};
</script>
<?php
}

add_action('wp_head', 'swiftype_javascript_config');

```

Note that this requires your theme to have a **`wp_head`** function call. Most themes do, but if not you can add the JavaScript code directly to your template in the **`<head></head>`** section.

**NOTE:** It is recommended to install your theme customizations into a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) so that your changes are not overwritten on theme upgrades.
