Yes!

As of version 1.1.17, the [Swiftype WordPress plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/swiftype-search/) supports custom post types.

Custom posts will be index if the following are true:

- It has a title.
- It has a **`post_status`** of **`publish`**.
- The **`exclude_from_search`** parameter is false for that type. (See the documentation for [`register_post_type`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Parameters) for details.)

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the plugin, be sure to click the “Synchronize with Swiftype” button from the plugin’s tab in WordPress after upgrading. This will ensure your pre-existing custom post types are indexed.
