At the moment, I have a standard WordPress search box on the top of my page. It seems to return posts and pages but not bbpress forums or topics.

I can use the bbpress shortcodes to display a forum search but I don’t want two search boxes.

Is there a way to extend the native wordpress search so it returns posts, pages, topics and forums?

At the moment, it seems I can search bbpress OR search wordpress posts / pages. I want to search both?

The issue is getting wordpress search to display the results in a meaningful way (ie bpress style)

This plugin which is old claims to do this, but there is a warning that it shows private forum results, is unless all your forums are open I wouldn’t use it.

Try it and see if it works
